MILLENNIAL HARP.
DESIGNED FOR
MEETINGS
SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

THREE PARTS IN ONE VOLUME.
TART I.
BY JOSHUA V. HIMES.
BOSTON:
PUBLISHED AT 14 DEVONSHIRE STREET.

PREFACE
The Harp, in its present form, embraces nearly all
the hymns contained in our well-known works, — the
"Millennial Harp," "Musings," and "Melodies," —
(those only having been omitted which are rarely, if
ever, sung,) and is designed to furnish a more com-
plete and convenient selection, to be used in our
Advent meetings. The hurry with which the above-
named works were got through the press, necessa-
rily made them, in many respects, defective ; though,
with all their defects, they have been the means of
accomplishing a vast amount of good, by conveying
the truth to the mind of those who were in the dark,
and awakening the careless; by inspiring new hope
in the fainting soul, quickening the languid, and giv-
ing utterance to the burning desires and sublime
expectations of those who are longing for the appear-
ing of Jesus Christ.
We are aware of the difficulty of suiting the taste
of all classes in musical and devotional composi-
tions ; the greatest possible diversity for this pur-
pose, which is consistent with the nature of the work
in which we are engaged, must therefore be allowed.
Some of our hymns, which might be objected to by
the more grave and intellectual, and to which we
ourselves have never felt any great partiality, have
been the means of reaching, for good, the hearts of
those who, probably, would not otherwise have been
affected ; and, as our object, like that of the Apostle,
is to save men, we should not hesitate to use all
means lawful, that may promise to " save some."
The general expression of approbation which our
former works have called forth, assures us that this
effort to improve our Ad-cent Harp will be appre-
ciated by all the true friends of the Advent cause.

MILLENNIAL HARP.
3 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise and ocean rolls
And all is drear — but heaven.
4 There faith lifts up the tearless eye,
To brighter piospects given;
It views the tempest passing by,
Sees evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene — in heaven.
5 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom;—
Beyond the dark, the narrow tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven.
Human Frailty.
1 This world is all a fleeting show,
For man's probation given;
The smiles of joy, the tears of wo,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow;
There's nothing true as heaven.
2 Poor wanderers of a stormy day,
From wave lo wave we'er driven;
And fancy's flash, and reason's ray
Serve but to light us on the way;
There's nothing bright as heaven.
S And where's the hand held out to cheer
The heart with anguish riven?
For sorrow's sigh, and trouble's tear,
Have never found a refuge here;
There's nothing kind as heaven.
4 In vain do mortals sigh for bliss,
Without their sins forgiven:
True pleasuie, everlasting peace,
Are only found in God's free grace;
There's nothing good as heaven.
5 From those who walk in wisdom's way,
Corroding fears are driven;
They're wash'd in Christ's atoning blood,
Enjoy communion with their God,
And find their way to heaven.

While angelic legions, with harps tuned celestial,
Harmoniously join in the concert of praise,
The saints, as they flock from the regions terrestrial,
In loud hallelujahs their voices will raise:
Then songs to the Lamb shall re-echo thro' heaven,
My soul will respond, To Immanuel be given
All glory, all honor, all might and dominion,
Who brought us thro' grace to the Eden of Love.
Then hail, blessed state! hail, ye songsters of glory !
Ye harpers of bliss, soon I'll meet you above!
And join your full choir in rehearsing the story,
" Salvation from sorrow, through Jesus's love:"
Though 'prisoned in earth, yet by anticipation,
Already my soul feels a sweet prelib&tion
Of joys that await me, when freed from probation:
My heart's now in Heaven, the Eden of Love.

2 From every piercing sorrow,
That leaves our breast to-day
Or threatens us to-morrow,
Hope turns our eyes away,
On wings of faith ascending,
We see the land of light ,
And feel our sorrows ending,
In infinite delight.
MILLENNIAL HARP. 13
3 'Tis true, we are but strangers,
We sojourn here below;
And countless snares and dangers
Surround the path we go;
Though painful and distressing,
Yet there's a rest above;
And onward still we're pressing,
To reach that land of love.
The Great Physician.
1 How lost was my condition,
Till Jesus made me whole;
There is but one Physician
Can cure a sin-sick soul;
Next door to death he found me,
And snatch'd me from the grave,
To tell to all around me
His wondrous power to save.
2 The worst of all diseases
Is light, compared with sin;
On every part it seizes,
But rages most within;
'Tis palsy, plague, and fever,
And madness all combined;
And none but a believer,
The least relief can find.
3 From men great skill professing,
I sought a cure to gain;
But this proved more distressing,
And added to my pain.
Some said that nothing ail'd me,
Some gave me up for lost;
Thus every refuge failed me,
And all my hopes were cross'd.
4 At length this great physician,
How matchless is his grace!
Accepted my petition,
And undertook my case;
First gave me sight to view him,
For sin mine eyes had seaPd,
Then bade me look unto him;
I look'd — and I was heal'd.

2 In the way, a thousand snares
Lie to take us unawares;
Satan, with malicious art,
Watches each unguarded heart:
But from Satan's malice free,
Saints shall soon in glory be;
Soon the joyful news will come,
" Child, your Father calls, Come home."
3 But of all the foes we meet,
None so oft misled our feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within:
Yet let nothing spoil your peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;
Then the joyful news will come,
" Child, your father calls, Come home.**
Joy in Hope.
Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey sweetly sing;
Sing your Savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
We are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
Shout ye little flock, and blest,
You near Jesus throne shall rest;
There your seats are now prepared,
There your kingdom and reward.
Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land:
Jesus Christ, your Father's son,
Bids you undismay'd go on.

2 His crimes with inward grief and shame,
The penitent confessed;
Then turned his dying eyes to Christ,
And thus his prayer addressed;
3 'Jesus thou Son and heir of heaven,
'Thou spotless Lamb of God,
'I see thee bathed in sweat and tears,
'And weltering in thy blood.
4 'Yet quickly from these scenes of wo,
'In triumph thou shalt rise,
'Burst through the gloomy shades of death.
And shine above the skies.'
MILLENNIAL HARP. 17
5 'Amid the glories of that world,
'Dear Savior, think on me;
'And in the vict'ries of thy death,
'May I a sharer be.'
6 His prayer the dying Jesus heard
And instantly replied,
'To-day thy parting soul shall be
'With me in paradise.'
Godly sorrow arising from the sufferings of Christ.
1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Jesus die ?
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I ?
2 Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, thine,
And bath'd in its own blood,
While all exposed to wrath of men,
The glorious SufPrer stood !
3 Was it for crimes that I had done,
He groaned upon the tree ?
Amazing pity ! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
4 Well might the sun in darkness hide,*
And shut his glories in,
When Christ the glorious Savior died,
For man, the creature's sin.
5 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes in tears.
6 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do.

When God in great mercy is coining so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, Come,
And angels are waiting to welcome you home.
2 How vain the delusion, that while you delay,
Your hearts may grow better by staying away;
Come wretched, come starving, come just as you be
While streams of salvation are flowing so free.
3 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive,
O how can you question, if you will believe?
If sin is your burden, why will you not come?
Tis you he bids welcome; he bids you come home.
4 In riches, in pleasures, what can you obtain,
To soothe your affliction, or banish your pain?
To bear up your spirit when summon'd to die,
Or wall you to mansions of glory on high?
5 Why will you be starving and feeding on air?
There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to spare;
If still you are doubting, make trial and see,
And prove that his mercy is boundless and free.
6 Come, give us your hand, and the Savioryour heart,
And trusting in Heaven, we never shall part;
O how can we leave you? why will you not come;
We'll journey together, and <*oon be at home.

3 No chilling winds, or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest ?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest ?
4 FilPd with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away.
There on those high and flowery plains,
Our spirits ne'er shall tire;
But in perpetual, joyful strains,
Redeeming love admire.

And repent and be converted,
You may sing his praisef too.

Hark, how the gospel trumpet sounds,
Through all the world the echo bounds,
And Jesus, with redeeming blood
Is bringing sinners home to God,
And guides them safely by his word
To endless day.

Hail, all victorious conquering Lord,
By all the heavenly hosts adored;
Who undertook for fallen man,
And brought salvation through thy name,
That we with thee might live and reign
In endless day.

Fight on ye conquering saints, fight on,
And when the conquest you have won,
Then palms of victory you shall bear,
And in his kingdom have a share,
And crowns of glory you shall wear,
In endless day.

Thy blood, dear Jesus, once was spilt,
To save our souls from sin and guilt;
And sinners now may come to God,
And find salvation through his word,
And sail by faith upon that flood
To endless day.

There we shall in sweet chorus join,
And saints and angels all combine,
To sing of his redeeming love,
When rolling years shall cease to move;
And that shall be the theme above,

The wheat and tares together grow;
Jesus ere long will weed the crop,
And pluck the tares in anger up.
CHORUS.
For soon the reaping time will come,
And angels shout the harvest home.
2 Will it relieve their horrors there,
To recollect their stations here;
How much they heard, how much they knew,
How much among the wheat they grew?
For soon the reaping time will, Sfc.
3 No! this will aggravate their case,
They perish'd under means of grace,
To them the word of life and faith
Became an instrument of death.
For soon the reaping time will, Sfc.
4 We seem alike when thus we meet,
Strangers might think we all were wheat,
But to the Lord's all-searching eyes,
Each heart appears without disguise.
For soon the reaping time will, S;c.
5 The tares are spared for various ends,
Some for the sake of praying friends:
Others the Lord, against their will,
Employs his counsels to fulfil.
For soon the reaping time will, Sfc.
6 But though they grow so tall and strong,
His plan will not require them long;
In harvest, when he saves his own,
The tares shall into hell be thrown.
For soon the reaping time will, fyc»
7 Oh! awful thought, and is it so?
Must all mankind the harvest know?
Is every man a wheat or tare?
Me, for that harvest, Lord, prepare.

Star of Bethlehem.
2 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud, the night was dark,
The ocean yawn'd, and rudely blow'd
The wind that toss'd my foundering bark.
Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death struck — I ceased the tide to stem:
When suddenly a star arose,
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
3 It was my guide, my light, my all,
It bade my dark foreboding cease;
And thro* the storm and danger's thrall,
It led me to the port of peace.
Now safely moor'd — my perils o'er,
I'll sing first in night's diadem,
Forever and forevermore,
The Star— the Star of Bethlehem.
The Christian and the Cross.
2 I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Who lives by angels now adored;
That Jesus who once died for me,
Who bore my sins in agony.
2 I'm not ashamed to own his laws,
Nor to defend his noble cause,
The way he's gone, is lined with blood,
O may I tread the steps he trod.
3 I'm not ashamed his name to bear,
With those who his disciples were:
Christian, sweet name! its worth I view,
O may I wear the nature too.
4 I'm not ashamed to bear my cross,
For which I count all things but dross;
Whate'er I'm bid to do or say,
When Christ commands, I will obey.
5 I'm not ashamed to be despised,
By those who ne'er religion prized:
Nor will I prove to Christ untrue,
For all that men can say or do.
6 This world's vain honors will I shun,
The narrow way to life I'll run;
That this at last my boast may be,
My Savior's not ashamed of me.

Thy cup, long filling, now o'erflown,

To draw his glittering sword;
And o'er thy guilty head it gleams,
To vindicate his word.

Oh, sinner, seize it now, —

No other hope hast thou.

Triumphant o'er the world and sin,

And glorious, with his saints in light,

He guards them by his side,
Arrays in garments white and pure,

With groves of living joys,
With all the fruits of paradise,

They all exulting stand,
And tell the wonders he hath done,
Through all their land.

And swell the growing fame,
And sing in songs which never end

The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated;
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contain'd before:
Prepare, my soul, to meet him.
The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding,
Caught up to meet him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding
No gloomy fears their souls dismay
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet him.

But sinners, fill'd with guilty fears,
Behold his wrath prevailing,
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing:

Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.

You bewail the want of sight,
Cry to Jesus, son of David,
He will give you gospel light:
If no one appear to help you,
All their efforts prove but talk :
Jesus ready waits to heal you,
He will bid you rise and walk.
4 If, like Feter, you are sinking
In the sea of unbelief;
Wait with patient, constant praying,
Christ will grant you sweet relief.
Are you weary, heavy laden ?
He will give you sweet repose;
Bear his lijjht and easy burden,
He shall conquer all your foes.
5 He will give you grace and glory,
All your wants shall be supplied :
Canaan, Canaan, lies before you,
Rise, and cross the swelling tide.
Death shall not destroy your comfort,
Christ shall guide you thro' the gloom,
Down he'll send an heavenly convoy,
To convey you to his home.

MILLENNIAL HARP. 55
Close behind the tribulation
Of the last tremendous days,
See the flaming Revelation!
See the universal blaze!
Earth and heaven
Melt before the Judge's face.
Sun and moon are both confounded,
Darken'd into endless night,
When with angel-hosts surrounded,
In his Father's glory bright,
Beams the Savior,
Shines the everlasting light.
See the stars from heaven falling !
Hark ! on earth the doleful cry!
Men on rocks and mountains calling,
While the frowning Judge draws nigh;
Hide us, hide us,
Rock and mountains, from his eye!
With what different exclamation
Shall the saints his banner see!
By the monuments of his passion,
By the marks received for me!
All discern him,
All with shouts cry out — "Tis He!"
"Lo! 'tis He! our heart's desire,
Come for his espoused below;
Come to join us with the choir,
Come to make our joys o'erflow:
Palms of victory,
Crowns of glory to bestow."
Yes, the prize shall sure be given;
We his open face shall see:
Love, the earnest of our heaven,
Love our full reward shall be,
Love shall crown us
Kings thro' all eternity

2 Hear the sinner thus lamenting,
At the thoughts of future pain;
Cries and tears he now is venting,
But he cries and weeps in vain:
Greatly mourning
That he ne'er was born again.
S M Yonder stands the glorious Savior,
With the marks of dying love;
Oh, that I had sought his favor,
When I felt his Spirit move!
Doomed justly,
For I have against him strove.
4 "All his warnings I have slighted,
While he daily sought my soul;
If some vows to him I plighted,
Yet for sin I broke the whole:
Golden moments,
How neglected did they roll!
5 M Yonder stand my godly neighbors,
Who were once despised by me;
They are clad in dazzling splendor,
Waiting my sad fate to see —
Farewell, neighbors;
Dismal gulf! I'm bound for thee?
6 Now, despisers, look and wonder,
Hope and sinners here must part;
Louder than a peal of thunder,
Hear the dreadful sound, " Depart "
Lost forever!
How it quails the sinner's heart!

Tho' you have much peace and
comfort,
Greater things you yet may find,
Freedom from unholy tempera,
Freedom from the carnal mind.
To procure your perfect freedom,
Jesus suffer'd, groan'd, and died,
On the cross the healing fountain,
Gushed from his wounded side.
Be as holy and as happy,
And as useful here below,
As it is your Father's pleasure,
Jesus, only Jesus know.
Spread, O spread the holy fire,
Tell, O tell what God has done,
Till the nations are conformed
To the image of his Son.

If you have obtained this treasure, Witnesses might be produced,
Search and you shall surely find Of this glorious work of love,
All the Christian marks and graces, Paul and James, and John and Peter,
Planted, growing, in your mind. Long before they went above.
Perfect fuith,and perfect patience, Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands,
Perfect lowliness, and then Have, and do, and will appear \
Perfect hope, and perfect meekness, Let me ask the solemn question,
Perfect love for God and man. Has the Lord a witness here.

But be sure to gain the witness, Wake up brother, wake up sister,
Which abides both day and night ; Seek, O seek this holy state-,
This your God has plainly promis'd, None but holy ones Crin enter
This is like a stream of light. Thro' the pure celestial jzate.
While you keep the blessed witness, Can you bear the tho't of losing
All is clear and calm within •, All the joys that are above ?
God himself assures you by it No, my brother, no, my sistrr.
That your heart is cleansed from God will perfect you in lore.

In splendor shall dawn,
Our tears will be ended,
Our sorrows all gone;
While the mighty, &c.

The Bridegroom from glory
To earth shall descend;
Ten thousand bright angels
Around him attend.
While the mighty, &c.

And with the Redeemer
Mount up to the skies.

Forever remain.

O
There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads;
A place than all besides more sweet,
It is the blood-bought Mercy Seat.
3
There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
Around one common Mercy Seat.
4
Ah ! whither should we flee for aid
When tempted, desolate, dismayed?
Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no Mercy Seat?
5
There, there on angel's wings we soar,
And sin and sense seem all no more;
The Lord comes down our souls to greet,
And gloiy crowns the Mercy Seat.
6
O Let my hand forget her skill,
My tongue be silent, cold and still;
This bounding heart forget to beat
If I forget the Mercy Seat.

2 On a refulgent cloud,
Jesus, the Judge, appears;
The saints rejoice aloud,
The guilty sinner fears.
On the white throne he takes his seat,
And views the myriads at his feet.
3 'Midst the vast multitude,
His eye omniscient sees
The purchase of his blood
And dying agonies:
Then calls them forth and bids them stand
With glory crown'd at his right hand.
4 "Come, souls forever blest,"
He says, " my people come,
Possess the promised rest,
Enter your heavenly home;
No more shall aught your peace annoy,
Inherit everlasting joy."
5 But in what awful sounds
The wicked are addressed!
Heaven with their groans resounds,
As on his left they 're placed.
"Depart ye curs'd the Judge exclaims,
"To be destroyed in burning flames!"
6 Oh! thou eternal God,
Ere this tremendous day,
Cleanse me in Jesus' blood,
Wash all my guilt away.
Then may I join the happy throng,
To praise thee in eternal song.

And in his precious promises
He finds a quiet rest.
The yoke of Christ is easy,
The burden always light;
They never make him weary
While Canaan is in sight.
'Tis thus you have his history
Through life from day to day;
Religion is no mystery,
It is a beaten way;
And when upon his pillow
He lays him down to die,
His soul in hope rejoices,
For he knows his God is nigh.
And when life's lamp is flickering,
His soul on wings of love
Flies away to realms of glory,
To dwell with Christ above,
Then he'll be forever happy,
For he's joined the holy band,
He's received the crown of glory
And a palm is in his hand;
With saints and priests and prophets,
He'll strike the golden lyre,
And shout loud hallelujahs
With all the heavenly choir.
He's happy now eternally,
His joys are all complete,
With his angels he is bowing
Around the Savior's feet.

The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven before his face,
Astonished, shrink away?
3 But ere the trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark! from the gospel's cheering sound
What joyful tidings spread!
4 Ye sinners, see his grace,
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Flee to the shelter of his cross,
And find salvation there

Death falls beneath his sword;

And rise to meet their Lord.
3 The trumpet sounds, " Awake!
Ye dead, to judgment come!"
The pillars of creation shake,

No night of sorrow e'er shall close,

At his Redeemer's beck
Sure t'emerge and rise again,
And mount above the wreck.
Lo! the heavenly spirit towers,
Like flames o'er nature's funeral pyre,
Triumphs in immortal powers,
And claps his wings of fire!
Nothing hath the just to lose,
By worlds on worlds destroyed;
Far beneath his feet he views,
With smiles, the flaming void;
Sees this universe renewed,
The grand millennial reign begun;
Shouts with all the sons of God,
Around th' eternal throne.
Resting in this glorious hope,
To be at last restored,
Yield we now our bodies up,
To earthquake, plague or sword.
List'ning for the call divine,
The latest trumpet of the seven,
Soon our soul and dust shall join,
And both fly up to heaven.

My heart was cold — lukewarm was I,
When lo ! I heard the Midnight Cry;
It arous'd me up — I looked within,
Beheld corruption, error, sin.
2
My soul was sad, mine eyes did weep,
I had no rest, I could not sleep.
And is it true the Master's nigh?
Have mercy, Lord, was all my cry.
3
I sought the Lord with all my might,
He heard my prayer and gave me light,
Filled me with joy — I love to hear
The solemn cry, the Bridegroom's near.
4
I love to tell to all around
What peace and comfort 1 have found.
I love to echo still the cry,
Behold the Heavenly Bridegroom's nigh.
5
My soul is fill'd with love divine,
I feel I'm his, that he is mine;
My Savior and my gracious Lord,
And he will come, so says his word.
6
Yes, He will come, He's nigh at hand,
I soon shall join the blood-washed band,
To sing his praise, his glory see,
And reign with Him eternally.

2 Souls for the marriage feast,
Robed and prepared; —
Holy must be such guests:
Jesus is there!
Saints, wear your victory palms,
Chant your celestial psalms:
Bride of the Lamb, thy charms,
Oh! let me wear.
3 Heaven's bliss is perfect, pure —
Jesus is there!
Heaven's bliss is ever sure —
Thou art its heir.
What makes its joys complete —
What makes its hymns so sweet;
There we our friends will greet —
Jesus is there.

On wings of faith above the skies,

To dwell forever with my love.

An higher entertainment waits;
Fruits new and old, laid up in store,
There we shall feed — but want no more.

While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on his word.

Cut 9hort the hours of thy delay;
Fly, like a youthful hart or roe,
Over the hills where spices grow.

2 Then let the thundering trumpet sound,
The latest lightnings glare;
The mountains melt, the solid ground
Dissolve as liquid air;
The huge celestial bodies roll
Amidst the general fire,
And shrivel as a parchment scroll,
And all in smoke expire!
3 Yet still the Lord, the Savior, reigns,
When nature is destroyed,
And no created thing remains
Throughout the flaming void.
Sublime upon his azure throne,
He speaks th' Almighty word;
His fiat is obeyed; 'tis done,
And paradise restored.
4 So be it! let this system end,
This ruinous earth and skies!
The New Jerusalem descend,
The new creation rise!
Thy power omnipotent assume!
Thy brightest majesty!
And when thou dost in glory come,
My Lord, remember me!

2 Our mourning is all at an end,
When raised by the life-giving Word,
We see the new city descend.
Adorned as a bride for her Lord;
The city so holy and clean,
No sorrow can breathe in the airj
No gloom of affliction or sin;
No shadow of evil is there;
3 By faith we already behold
That lovely Jerusalem here;
Her walls are of jasper and gold,
As crystal her buildings are clear:
Immovably founded in grace,
She stands, as she ever hath stood.
And brightly her Builder displays,
And flames with the glory of God.
4 No need of the sun in that day,
Which never is followed by night,
Where Jesus's beauties display
A pure and a permanent light:
The Lamb is their light and their sub,
And lo! by reflection they shine;
With Jesus ineffably one,
And bright in effulgence divine!
5 The saints in his presence receive
Their great and eternal reward;
In Jesus, in heaven they live,
They reign in the smile of their Lordl
The flame of angelical love
Is kindled at Jesus's face;
And all the enjoyment above
Consists in the rapturoui gaze.

PART III.
THE GREAT BATTLE.
HYMN 1. L. P. M.
PART FIRST.
Hosannah ! hark, the melody-
Strikes sweetly on my ravished ear !
The constellations make reply
In echoes from each distant sphere,
Till all the wide expansion rings
With " Live forever, King of kings ! "
He comes ! he comes ! the heavens
rend !
Floods, clap your hands ! ye moun-
tains, joy !
Forests, in glad obeisance bend !
Earth, raise your hallelujahs high !
Let Zion wake the lofty strain —
" Live, King of kings ! forever reign ! "
THE GREAT BATTLE. 6
Ripe is the vintage of the earth ;
Its clustering grapes are round and
full )
And vengeance, vengeance bursts to
birth,
Sudden and irresistible !
Messiah comes, to tread amain
The wine-press of the battle-plain !
The cry is up, the strife begun,
The struggle of the mighty ones ;
And Armageddon's day comes on,
The carnival of Slaughter's sons;
War lifts his helmet to his brow :
0 God ! protect thy people now !
PART SECOND.
The graves are cleaved ! the saints
arise !
The resurrection of the just !
And now, unto their kindred skies,
Up leap the tenants of the dust !
They rise to meet their Lord in air,
And tune their hallelujahs there.
Wake, Zion, wake ! put on thy
strength !
Don thy rich garb, Jerusalem !
4 THE GREAT BATTLE.
Rise, shine ! thy light is come at
length,
And thou the wicked shalt condemn.
But hark ! the war-whoop nearer
sounds !
From land to land Destruction hounds !
7 Assemble quickly, fowls of air !
Come to the supper of the Lord :
The great ones of the earth prepare
To reap the harvest of the sword ;
And captains' flesh shall be your food,
And ye shall drink of heroes, blood.
8 The cry is up, the strife begun ;
Destruction spreads from field to field ;
And soon shall Slaughter's work be
done, —
Soon shall Abaddon's legions yield ;
Unnumbered thousands shall be slain,
Ere day break on Megiddo's plain.
- PART THIRD.
9 Down, Babylon! down, Mahomet!
Impostor and Apostate, down !
Your day is past, your sun is set ;
Now reap the whirlwind ye have
sown :
THE GREAT BATTLE. O
Drink — yea, drink deep — the wine 's
poured forth,
The red wine of Jehovah's wrath.
10 They drink ! they drink ! they fall !
they fall!
With all their sorceries and charms ;
And Desolation grasps them all
Within his vast and withering arms ;
The " strong one " has them in his
toil:
When, lo ! a Stronger shares the
spoil !
11 Yea, come, 0 king! and take the
spoil;
With thy confederates share the
prey:
Ha ! ha ! Death " grins a ghastly
smile ;"
The morning dawns — and where are
they ?
The flames, the flames, great Auto-
crat,
Spread o'er thee in Jehosaphat !
THE NEW JERUSALEM.
HYMN 2. C. M.
1 Another weary day is past,
I 'm waiting still for thee ;
0, keep me, Savior, till the last,
And set my spirit free.
I long to know thee as thou art,
And reign with thee in life ;
O, let this longing, fainting heart
Now end the mortal strife.
2 With thine immortal image seal
This feeble creature thine ;
And all thy glory then reveal,
And let me in it shine.
I would be where thou art : 0 come !
No longer now delay ;
But take thy weeping children home,
From sin and grief aw*iy.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 7
Jesus, our hope, our life, our heaven,
The lingering times have flown ;
To thee the Kingdom now is given ;
Return, and claim thine own.
And, as we wait, along the skies
Unearthly glory steals,
And our glad spirits seem to rise,
To haste thy chariot wheels*
Although they seem to linger, still
Thy retinue on high
Is marshalled, and awaits the will
That bids their myriads fly.
Then we will wait, nor deem too long
The closing hours of grace,
But trim our lamps with cheerful song,
Till we shall see thy face.
HYMN 3. 8 & 7.
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God !
He whose word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose ?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
THE NEW JERUSALEM.
See ! the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst t' assuage ?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age ?
Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer's blood !
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to
God:
'T is his love his people raises
Over self to reign as kings;
And as priests, his solemn praises
Each for a thank-offering brings.
Savior, if of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 9
HYMN 4. C. M.
1 Arise and shine, 0 Zion fair,
Behold, thy light is come,
Thy glorious conquering King is near,
To take his exiles home ;
The trumpet's sounding through the
sky
To set poor sinners free ;
The day of wonders now is nigh,
The year of jubilee.
2 Arise, ye nations under ground,
Before the Judge appear ;
All tongues, all languages, shall come,
Their final doom to hear.
King Jesus on his azure throne,
Ten thousand angels round ;
While Gabriel, with his silver trump,
Echoes the dreadful sound.
3 The glorious news of gospel grace
With sinners now is o'er;
The trump in Zion now is still,
And to be blown no more ■
The watchmen all have left their
walls,
And with their flocks above,
10 THE NEW JERUSALEM.
On Canaan's happy shore they sing,
And shout redeeming love.
HYMN 5. 6 lines 8s.
Leader of faithful souls, and guide
Of all that travel to the sky,
Come, and with us, e'en us, abide,
Who would on thee alone rely ;
On thee alone our spirits stay,
While held in life's uneven way.
Strangers and pilgrims here below,
This earth, we know, is not our
place ;
But hasten through the vale of wo,
And restless to behold thy face,
Swift to our heavenly country move,
Our everlasting home above.
We have no 'biding city here,
But seek a city out of sight;
Thither our steady course we steer,
Aspiring to the plains of light,
Jerusalem, the saints1 abode,
Whose founder is the living God.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 11
SECOND PART.
4 Patient th* appointed race to run,
This weary world we cast behind ;
From strength to strength we travel on,
The New Jerusalem to find ;
Our labor this, our only aim,
To find the New Jerusalem.
5 Through thee, who all our sins hast
borne,
Freely and graciously forgiven,
With songs to Zion we return,
Contending for our native heaven,
That palace of our glorious King;
We find it nearer while we sing.
6 Raised by the breath of love divine,
We urge our way with strength
renewed,
The church of the first-born to join;
We travel to the mount of God ;
With joy upon our heads arise,
And meet our Savior in the skies.
HYMN 6. 8 lines 8s.
1 I long to behold him arrayed
With glory and light from above;
The King in his beauty displayed,
His beauty of holiest love :
12 THE NEW JERUSALEM.
I languish and sigh to be there,
Where Jesus hath fixed his abode ;
O, when shall we meet in the air,
And fly to the mountain of God ?
2 With him I on Sion shall stand, —
For Jesus has spoken the word, —
The breadth of Immanuel's land
Survey by the light of my Lord.
But when, on thy bosom reclined,
Thy face I am strengthened to see,
My fulness of rapture I find,
My heaven of heavens, in thee.
3 How happy the people that dwell
Secure in the city above !
No pain the inhabitants feel,
No sickness or sorrow shall prove ;
Physician of souls, unto me
Forgiveness and holiness give,
And then from the body set free,
And then to the city receive.
HYMN 7. P. M.
1 Burst, ye emerald gates, and bring
To my raptured vision
All the ecstatic joys that spring
Round the bright Elysian !
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 13
Lo ! we lift our longing eyes :
Break, ye intervening skies !
Sons of righteousness, arise !
Ope the gates of paradise !
CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest,
And dwell where loving Jesus is !
2 Floods of everlasting light
Freely flash before him ;
Myriads, with supreme delight,
Instantly adore him ;
Angels' trumps resound his fame ;
Lutes of lucid gold proclaim
All the music of his name,
Heaven echoing the theme.
CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest,
And dwell where loving Jesus is !
3 Four and twenty elders rise
From their princely station ;
Shout his glorious victories,
Sing his great salvation ;
Cast their crowns before his throne ;
Cry, in reverential tone,
Glory be to God alone,
Holy, holy, holy One !
14 THE NEW JERUSALEM.
CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest,
And dwell where loving Jesus is !
4 Hark ! the thrilling symphonies
Seem, methinks, to seize us ;
Join we to the holy lays —
Jesus ! Jesus ! Jesus !
Sweetest sound in seraphs' song;
Sweetest note on mortals' tongue ;
Sweetest carol ever sung :
Jesus ! Jesus ! flow along.
CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest,
And dwell where loving Jesus is !
HYMN 8. C. M.
1 Jerusalem ! Jerusalem !
Zion shall yet arise,
In all the beauty of the Lord,
Beneath thy own fair skies,
When thou shalt come bowed down
and low,
Repentant and in tears,
With offerings of broken hearts,
And faith of holy seers.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 15
2 Jerusalem ! Jerusalem !
Messiah he is king;
Lift up thy voice from every hill,
Let every valley sing ;
Lengthen thy cords, strengthen thy
stakes,
Break out on every hand,
Thou blessed of the Lord of hosts,
And glory of the land !
HYMN 9. P. M.
1 When the King of kings comes,
When the Lord of lords comes ;
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes :
Great Babylon is broken down,
And kingdoms once of great re-
nown,
And saints now suffering wear the
crown,
When the King of kings comes.
2 When the trump of God calls,
When the last of foes falls ;
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes ■
16 THE NEW JERUSALEM.
0, then the saints, raised from the
dead,
Are with the living gathered,
And all made like their glorious Head,
When the King of kings comes.
3 When the foe's distress comes,
Then the church's " rest " comes ;
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes :
And then the new Jerusalem,
Surpassing all report and fame,
Shines worthy of its Maker's name,
When the King of kings comes.
4 When the world its course has run,
When the judgment is begun ;
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes :
To see the sons of God well known,
All spotless to their Father shown,
And Jesus all his brethren own,
When the King of kings comes.
5 When the Conqueror's hour comes,
When he with great power comes ;
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes :

THE NEW JERUSALEM. 17
To see all things by him restored,
And God himself alone adored
By all the saints, with one accord,
When the King of kings comes.
HYMN 10. 8s.
A city appears to our view,
Where pilgrims will ever reside ;
If faithful they prove, and are true,
Will dwell with the Lamb as his
bride.
From heaven this city descends,
Above the ethereal blue ;
The saints will inhabit it, when
To earth they have all bade adieu.
No sun shall illumine that land,
N>r stars in its galaxy shine ;
Bui Ji'der and harmony grand
Will be in each portion sublime.
No darkness shall ever prevail,
But light inexpressible reign ;
No demon our rights shall assail,
To mar in that heavenly plain.
The walls of this city are high,
Her light 's like a jasper most clear;
b THE NEW JERUSALEM.
When she falls from the azure blue
sky,
She will dwell with the holy who
fear.
Its streets are pellucid, fine gold ;
No temple, but God and the Lamb,
Our eyes shall there ever behold,
For they are the light of that land.
HYMN 11. 5&6.
1 0 tell me no more
Of this world's vain store,
The time for such trifles
With me now is o'er.
2 A city I 've found
Where true joys abound;
To dwell I 'm determined
On this happy ground.
3 My soul, don't delay,
He calls thee away ;
Rise, follow thy Savior,
And bless the glad day.
KINGDOM OF GOD.
HYMN 12. L. M.
1 Thy kingdom come ! thus, day by
day,
We lift our hands to God and pray;
But who has ever duly weighed
The meaning of the words he said ?
2 Thy kingdom come ! 0 day of joy,
When praise shall every tongue em-
ploy;
When hatred, strife and battles cease
And man with man shall be at peace.
3 Then bears and wolves, no longer
wild,
Obey the leading of a child ;
The lions with the oxen eat,
And dust shall be the serpent's meat
20 KINGDOM OF GOD.
4 Then all shall know and serve the
Lord,
And walk according to his word ;
His glory spread around shall be,
As waters cover o'er the sea.
5 God's holy will shall then he done
By all who live beneath the sun ;
And every evil will remove,
For God will reign, and " God is love/
HYMN 13. L. M.
1 Great God, whose universal sway
All heaven reveres, all worlds obey,
Now make the Savior's glory known,
Extend his power, exalt his throne.
2 Thy sceptre well becomes his hands,
Angels submit to his commands ;
His justice shall protect the poor,
And pride and rage prevail no more.
3 With power he vindicates the just,
And treads th' oppressor in the dust ;
His righteous government shall last,
Till days, and years, and time be past.
KINGDOM OF GOD. 21
HYMN 14. L. M.
1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run ;
His kingdom stretch from shore to
shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no
more.
2 To him shall endless prayers be made,
And praises throng to crown his head ;
His name, like sweet perfume shall
rise
With every daily sacrifice.
3 Blessings abound where'er he reigns ;
The prisoner leaps to loose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blessed.
4 Where he displays his healing power,
The sting of death is known no more ;
In him the sons of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost,
HYMN 15. 7 & 6.
1 Hail to the Lord's anointed !
Great David's greater Son;
22 KINGDOM OF GOD.
Hail in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun !
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free ;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy,
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying
Were precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down, like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love and joy, like flowers,
Spring in his path to birth ;
Before him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go,
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
4 For him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend ;
KINGDOM OF GOD. 23
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end ;
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove ;
His name shall stand forever ;
That name to us is — Love.
HYMN 16. 10s.
1 The Savior comes, by ancient bards
foretold ;
Hear him, ye deaf, and all ye blind,
behold !
*T is he the obstructed paths of sound
shall clear,
And bid new music charm th' unfold-
ing ear.
2 No more shall nation against nation
rise,
Nor ardent warriors meet with hate-
ful eyes,
No fields with gleaming steel be cov-
ered o'er,
The brazen trumpets kindle rage no
more.

KINGDOM OF GOI>.
3 The Iambs with wolves shall graze
the verdant mead,
And boys in flowery bands the tiger
lead ;
The steer and lion at one crib shall
meet,
And harmless serpents lick the pil-
grim's feet.
4 Rise, crowned with light, imperial
Salem, rise !
Exalt thy towery head, and lift thy
eyes !
See barbarous nations at thy gates
attend,
Walk in thy light, and in thy temple
bend.
5 The seas shall waste, the skies in
smoke decay,
Rocks fall to dust, and mountains
melt away ;
But fixed his word, his saving power
remains,
Thy realm forever lasts — Messiah
reigns.
KINGDOM OF GOD. 25
HYMN 17. 7 & 6.
1 From Greenland's ic}^ mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand ;
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle —
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile ? —
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown ;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
By wisdom from on high —
Shall we to man benighted
The lamp of life deny? —
Salvation ! — oh, salvation !
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learnt Messiah's name.

26 KINGDOM OF GOD.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story ;
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole ;
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
Returns in bliss to reign.
HYMN 18. S. M.
1 Rejoice ! the Lord is King !
Your Lord and King adore ;
Ye ransomed saints, give thanks and
sing,
And triumph evermore !
2 The mighty Savior reigns,
The God of truth and love ;
When he himself had purged our
stains,
He took his seat above.
3 His kingdom cannot fail ;
He rules o'er earth and heaven ;
The sovereign keys of death and hell
Into his hands are given.
4 He sits at God's right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
KINGDOM OF GOD. 27
And humbly bow to his command,
And fall beneath his feet.
5 Rejoice in glorious hope !
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take his waiting servants up
To their eternal home.
HYMN 19. 7 & 6.
1 And when the last loud trumpet
Shall rend the vaulted skies,
And bid the entombed millions
From their cold beds arise,
Our ransomed dust, revived,
Bright beauties shall put on,
And soar to the blest mansions
Where our Redeemer 's gone.
2 Our eyes shall then, with rapture,
The Savior's face behold !
Our feet, no more diverted,
Shall walk the streets of gold !
Our ears shall hear with transport
The hosts celestial sing !
Our tongues shall chant the glory
Of our immortal King.
28 KINGDOM OF GOD.
HYMN 20. P. M.
1 Now let us sing the coming fate
Of mystic Babylon the Great, —
Her doom is drawing near;
Jesus now comes on earth to reign,
His cause and people to maintain,
For them he 11 soon appear.
2 Before him flows a fiery stream,
The heavens above with lightnings
gleam,
A thousand thunders roar;
A heavenly host with him descends,
His voice to all the earth extends,
His saints now grieve no more.
3 Eclipsed by glory so divine,
Sun, moon, and stars refuse to shine,
The heavens a burning scroll ;
The day is broke that has no night ;
Earth, struck with horror at the sight,
Now quakes from pole to pole.
4 Angels of light, at his command,
Ten thousand times ten thousand,
stand,
Waiting his voice to hear ;
The fiery cherubs spread their wings,
The air with loud hosannas rings,
While all his saints draw near.
KINGDOM OF GOD. 29
5 The day of recompense has come,
His people all are gathering home,
With joy they hear his voice ;
The promised curse, the threatened
woes,
Combined, now fall upon his foes,
The martyrs all rejoice.
6 She, who the twelve apostles grieved,
And by her sorceries deceived
All nations of the world,
Now looks with anguish at their
bliss,
Then sinks into the vast abyss,
To endless ruin hurled.
7 The living saints, and all the dead,
Now gather round their glorious
Head,
And reign with him below,
A thousand years of perfect peace,
Of love, and joy, and righteousness,
Exempt from every wo.
8 Then let us keep the end in view,
And ever on our way pursue ;
The crown is yet before ;
A few short days, the conflict 's done,
The battle 's fought, the prize is won,
And we shall toil no more.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
HYMN 21. lis.
1 The pleasures of earth I have seen
fade away,
They bloom for a season, but soon
they decay ;
But pleasures more lasting in Jesus
are given,
Salvation on earth, and a mansion in
heaven.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
The saints in those mansions are
ever at home.
2 Allure me no longer, ye false glowing
charms ;
The Savior invites me, I '11 go to his
arms;
At the banquet of mercy I hear there
is room,
DESIRE OF THE BEIDE. 31
0 there may I feast with his children
at home !
Home, home, sweet, sweet home—
O Jesus, conduct me to heaven, my
home.
3 Farewell, vain amusements, my fol-
lies, adieu,
While Jesus, and heaven, and glory
I view ;
1 feast on the pleasures that flow from
his throne,
The foretaste of heaven, sweet hea-
ven, my home.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
O when shall I share the fruition
of home !
4 The days of my exile are passing
away,
The time is approaching when Jesus
will say,
" Well done, faithful servant, sit down
on my throne,
And dwell in my presence, forever at
home."
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
O there I shall rest with the Savior
at home.
32 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
5 Affliction and sorrow and death shall
be o'er,
The saints shall unite to be parted no
more ;
Their loud hallelujahs fill heaven's
high dome,
They dwell with the Savior, forever
at home.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
They dwell with the Savior, for-
ever at home.
HYMN 22. 8, 8, & 6.
1 0 glorious hope of heavenly love !
It lifts me up to things above ;
It bears on eagles' wings ;
It gives my ravished soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments
feast
With Jesus' priests and kings.
2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain-top
See all the land below;
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 33
A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Favored with God's peculiar smile,
With every blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord our Right-
eousness,
And keeps his own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest.
0 that I might at once go up !
No more on this side Jordan stop,
But now the land possess !
This moment end my legal years,
Sorrows, and sins, and doubts, and
fears,
A howling wilderness.
Now, 0 my Joshua, bring me in !
Cast out thy foes ; the inbred sin,
The carnal mind, remove ;
The purchase of thy death divide ;
And, 0 ! with all the sanctified,
Give me a lot of love.
HYMN 23. L. M.
0 Savior, is thy promise fled ?
Nor longer might thy grace endure,
To heal the sick and raise the dead,
And preach thy gospel to the poor ?
34 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
2 Come, Jesus, come ! return again ;
With brighter beam thy servants bless,
Who long to feel thy perfect reign,
And share thy kingdom's happiness.
3 A feeble race, by passion driven,
In darkness and in doubt we roam,
And lift our anxious eyes to heaven,
Our hope, our harbor, and our home.
4 Yet, mid the wild and wintry gale,
When death rides darkly o'er the sea,
And strength and earthly daring fail,
Our prayers, Redeemer, rest on thee !
5 Come, Jesus, come ! and as, of yore,
The prophet went to clear thy way,
A harbinger thy feet before,
A dawning to thy brighter day, —
6 So now may grace, with heavenly
shower,
Our stony hearts for truth prepare ;
Sow in our souls the seed of power,
Then come and reap thy harvest there.
HYMN 24. C. M.
1 How happy every child of grace,
Who knows his sins forgiven !
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 35
This earth, he cries, is not my place,
I seek my place in heaven :
A country far from mortal sight,
Yet, O, by faith I see
The land of rest, the saints' delight,
The heaven prepared for me.
2 0, what a blessed hope is ours !
While here on earth we stay,
We more than taste the heavenly
powers,
And antedate that day ;
We feel the resurrection near,
Our life in Christ concealed,
And with his glorious presence here
Our earthen vessels filled.
3 0, would he all of heaven bestow !
Then like our Lord we '11 rise ;
Our bodies, fully ransomed, go
To take the glorious prize.
On him with rapture then I '11 gaze,
Who bought the bliss for me,
And shout and wonder at his grace,
Through all eternity.
HYMN 25. C. M.
1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me ;
36 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
A token of his love he gives,
A pledge of liberty.
2 Jesus, I hang upon thy word ;
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord*
And to thyself receive.
3 Joyful in hope, my spirit soars
To meet thee from above ;
Thy goodness thankfully adores,
And sure I taste thy love.
4 Thy love I soon expect to find,
In all its depth and height ;
To comprehend th' Eternal Mind,
And grasp the Infinite.
5 When God is mine, and I am his,
Of paradise possessed,
I taste unutterable bliss,
And everlasting rest.
6 The bliss of those that fully dwell,
Fully in thee believe,
'T is more than angel tongues can tell,
Or angel minds conceive.
7 Thou only know'st who didst obtain,
And die to make it known ;
The great salvation now explain,
And perfect us in one.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 37
HYMN 26. 7 & 6.
1 0 when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with him above ;
And from that flowing fountain
Drink everlasting love ?
When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin,
And, with my blessed Jesus,
Drink endless pleasures in ?
2 But now I am a soldier ;
My Captain 's gone before ;
He 's given me my orders,
And bade me not give o'er.
If I continue faithful,
A righteous crown he '11 give,
And all his valiant soldiers
Eternal life shall have.
3 Through grace I am determined
To conquer, though I die ;
And then away to Jesus
On wings of love I '11 fly.
Farewell to sin and sorrow,
I bid you all adieu ;
And, 0 my friends, be faithful,
And on your way pursue.
38 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
HYMN 27. 8, 8, & 6.
1 When thou, my righteous Judge, shall
come
To call thy ransomed people home,
Shall I among them stand ?
Shall such a worthless worm as I,
Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at thy right hand ?
2 I love to meet among them now,
Before thy gracious throne to bow,
Though weakest of them all;
But can I bear the piercing thought,
To have my worthless name left out,
When thou for them shalt call ?
3 Prevent, prevent it, by thy grace !
Be thou, dear Lord, my hiding-place,
In that expected day.
Thy pard'ning voice O let me hear,
To still each unbelieving fear,
Nor let me fall, I pray.
4 Let me among thy saints be found
Whene'er th' archangel's trump shall
sound,
To see thy smiling face ;
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 39
Then loud through all the crowd I '11
sing,
While heaven's resounding mansions
ring
With shouts of endless grace.
HYMN 28. L. M.
We long to see that happy time,
That long-expected, blissful day,
When men of every name and clime
The glorious Savior shall obey.
The word of God shall firm abide,
Though earth and hell should dare
oppose ;
The stone cut from the mountain's side
The powers of earth and hell o'er-
throws.
From east to west, from south to north,
Immanuel's kingdom shall extend,
And man, wherever he goes forth,
Shall find all brethren, each a friend.
Afric's emancipated sons
Shall shout to Asia's rapturous
song ;
Europe, with her unnumbered tongues,
And western climes, the strain pro-
long.
40 DESIRE OP THE BRIDE.
HYMN 29. L. M.
1 On Tabor's top the Savior stands ;
His altered face resplendent shines.
And while he elevates his hands,
Lo, glory marks its gentle lines !
2 Two heavenly forms descend to wait
Upon their suffering Prince below :
But while they worship at his feet,
They talk of fast approaching wo.
3 Amid the lustre of the scene,
To Calvary he turns his eyes,
And, with submission all serene,
He marks the future tempest rise.
4 Then let us climb the mount of prayer,
Where all his beaming glories shine
And, gazing on his brightness there,
Our woes forget in joys divine.
5 O that on yonder heavenly hills,
Where now the risen Savior stands,
And peace, like softest dew, distils,
I, too, may elevate my hands.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 41
HYMN 30. 5 & 6.
1 Though troubles assail,
And dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail,
And foes all unite ;
Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide :
The Scripture assures us
The Lord will provide.
2 His call we obey
Like Abra'am of old,
Not knowing the way ;
But faith makes us bold :
For, though we are strangers,
We have a sure guide,
And trust, in all dangers,
The Lord will provide.
3 When Satan appears
To stop up our path,
And fill us with fears,
We triumph by faith ;
He cannot take from us,
Though oft he has tried,
This heart-cheering promise —
The Lord will provide.
2*
42 DESIRE OF THE BRUTE,
4 He tells us we 're weak,
Our hope is in vain,
The good that we seek
We ne'er shall obtain ;
But when such suggestions
Our graces have tried,
This answers all questions—
The Lord will provide.
5 No strength of our own,
Or goodness, we claim ;
Yet, since we have known
The Savior's great name,
In this our strong tower
For safety we hide —
The Lord is our power,
The Lord will provide.
6 When life sinks apace
And death is in view,
This word of his grace
Shall comfort us through ;
No fearing or doubting,
With Christ on our sider
We hope to fly shouting —
The Lord will provide.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 43
HYMN 31. C. M.
1 0, what hath Jesus bought for me !
Before my ravished eyes
Rivers of life divine I see,
And trees of paradise.
I see a world of spirits bright,
Who taste the pleasures there ;
They all are robed in spotless white,
And conquering palms they bear.
2 In hope of that immortal crown,
I now the cross sustain;
And gladly wander up and down,
And smile at toil and pain :
I suffer on my threescore years,
Till my Deliverer come,
And wipe away his servant's tears,
And take his exile home.
3 0, what are all my sufferings here,
If, Lord, thou count me meet
With that enraptured host t' appear,
And worship at thy feet ?
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away ;
But let me find them all again
In that eternal day !

See that glory-beaming star !
Watchman ! does its beauteous ray
Aught of hope or joy foretell?
Trav'ller ! yes ; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel !
Watchman ! tell us of the night ;
Higher yet that star ascends.
Trav'ller ! blessedness and light,
Peace and truth, its course portends.
Watchman ! will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth ?
Trav'ller ! ages are its own ;
See ! it bursts o'er all the earth !

Watchman ! tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn.

Lo, the Son of God is come !

Hark ! 't is the warlike clarion :
On, to the battle, heroes, on !
To arms ! to arms ! resounds on high
The voice of war and victory.
Haste to the battle ! See ! the Lord
Waves to the clouds his conquering
sword.
To arms ! to arms ! I hear the cry,
On, on, to bloodless victory !
The fierce embattled hosts of hell
Before the dreadful onset fell.
To arms ! to arms ! was once the cry,
But now the trump sounds victory !
THE ALARM.
4 Lo ! the white war-horse treads them
down,
I know the rider by his crown.
All hail ! all hail ! his legions cry ;

1 Come, let us anew our journey pursue,
Koll round with the year,
And never stand still till the Master
appear !
His adorable will let us gladly fulfil,
And our talents improve,
By the patience of hope and the labor
of love.
2 Our life as a dream, our time as a
stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to
stay.
The arrow is flown, the moment is
gone;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity 's
here.

Enter into my joy, and sit down on

HYMN 35. C. M.
1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb ?
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
Whilst others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas ?
3 Are there no foes for me to face ?
Must I not stem the flood ?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God ?
48 THE ALARM.
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign :
Increase my courage, Lord ;
I '11 bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
5 Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die ;
They see the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.
HYMN 36. 8, 8, & 6.
1 0 God, mine inmost soul convert,
And deeply on my thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress ;

And tremble on the brink of fate,
And wake to righteousness.

The pomp of that tremendous day,
When thou with clouds shalt come

And tell me, Lord, shall I be there
To meet a joyful doom ?
Be this my one great business here,
With serious industry and fear
Eternal bliss V insure ;

And suffer all thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.
Then, Savior, then my soul receive,
Transported from this vale to live
And reign with thee above !
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.

2 Strong were thy foes ; but the arm

And scattered their legions, was
mightier far :
They fled like the chaff from the
scourge that pursued them ;
How vain were their steeds and their
chariots of war.
3 Daughter of Zion ! the power that
hath saved thee,
Extolled with the harp and the tim-
brel shall be ;
Shout ! for the foe is destroyed that
enslaved thee,
The oppressor is vanquished, and
Zion is free.

And when wounded, healed thy
wound ;
THE ALARM. 51
Sought thee wandering, set thee right ;
Turned thy darkness into light.
3 " Can a mother's tender care
Cease towards the child she bare 7
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.
4 " Mine is a redeeming love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 " Thou shalt see my glory soon,
When the work of grace is done ;
Partner of my throne shalt be —
Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?"
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint,
That my love is weak and faint ;
Yet I love thee, and adore ;•
0 for grace to love thee more !
HYMN 39. S. M.
1 Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake, every heart and every tongue,
To praise the Savior's name.
52 THE ALARM.
2 Sing of his dying love,
Sing of his rising power;
Sing how he intercedes above
For those whose sins he bore.
3 Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In Christ, the Eternal King.
4 Soon shall we hear him say,
" Ye blessed children, come ;"
Soon will he call us hence away,
And take his wanderers home.
5 Soon shall our raptured tongue
His endless praise proclaim,
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.
HYMN 40. S. M.
1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify ;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil ;
THE ALARM. 53
0 may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will.
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live ;
And 0 thy servant, Lord, prepare,
A strict account to give. ■
Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely,
Assured if I my trust betray
I shall forever die.
HYMN 41. 7 & 6.
Come, brethren dear, and sisters,
Although a little band,
The victory I '11 assure you,
Stand fast with sword in hand ;
Then wield your sword with pleas-
ure,
The battle goes aright;
When Israel gained the victory,
He fought with faith and might.
How beautiful the garments
The bride of Christ doth wear;
He offers her rich presents,
And crowns her as his heir.
54 THE ALARM.
He decks her with rich jewels,
And crowns her with his lovGj
And by his mighty power
Will carry her above.
3 I '11 bid farewell to sorrow,
To sickness, care, and pain,
And mount aloft to Jesus,
Forever there to reign.
I '11 join to sing his praises
Above th' ethereal blue ;
And then, poor careless sinner.
What will become of you ?
HYMN 42. 7s & 6s.
1 The glorious day is coming,
The hour is rolling on,
Its radiant light is beaming,
Resplendent as the sun ;
In yon bright clouds of heaven
The Savior will appear,
And gather all his chosen
To meet him in the air.
2 Then fire, from God descending,
Shall sweep this wide earth o'er,
And nations, loud lamenting,
Shall sink to rise no more.
THE ALARM.
55
Though tears with groans are blended,
Yet still in vain they cry ;
The day of hope is ended,
The sinner now must die.
3 But saints shall be victorious,
And joy to meet the Lord ;
An earth more bright and glorious
Is promised in his word.
Our God himself, there reigning,
Shall wipe all tears away;
No clouds or night remaining,
But one eternal day.
4 0, Christian ! wake from sleeping*
And let your works abound ;
Be watching, praying, weeping,
For soon the trump will sound.
O, sinner ! hear the warning,
TO JESUS QUICKLY FLY!
Then you on that blest morning
May meet him in the sky.
HYMN 43. P. M.
1 Speak often to each other,
To cheer the fainting mind ;
And often be your voices
In pure devotion joined.
56 THE ALARM*
Though trials may await you,
The crown before you lies ;
Take courage, brother pilgrims,
And soon you '11 win the prize.
2 Ye shall be mine, says Jesus,
In that auspicious day
"When I make up my jewels,
Released from cumbrous clay.
He '11 polish and refine you
From worthless dross and tin,
And to his heavenly kingdom
Will bid you enter in.
3 On that important morning,
When bursting thunders sound,
And nimble lightnings waving
Shall wing the gloom profound ;
Lift up your heads rejoicing,
And clap your joyful hands ;
Lo ! you 're redeemed forever
From death's corrupted bands !
WORSHIP.
PRAYER AND PRAISE.
HYMN 44. L. M.
1 Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy ;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men ;
And when, like wand'ring sheep, we
strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We '11 crowd thy gates with thankful
songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand
tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding
praise.

4 Wide as the world is thy command ;
Vast as eternity thy love';
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand.
When rolling years shall cease to
move.
KYMN 45. L. M.
Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise thy name, give thanks, and
sin^
To show thy love by morning light,
And talk of all thy truth by night.
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest ;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast ;
O may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound !
3 When grace has purified my heart,
Then I shall share a glorious part ;
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.
4 Then shall I see, and hear, and know,
All I desired or wished below;
And every hour find sweet employ,
In that eternal world of joy.

HYMN 46. C. M.
1 May I, throughout this day of thine,
Be in thy spirit, Lord ;
Spirit of humble fear divine,
That trembles at thy word ;

And fix on things above ;
Spirit of sacrifice and praise,
Of holiness and love.
HYMN 47. S. M.
1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise !
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes !
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here we may sit and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day in such a place,
Where thou, my God, art seen,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
60 WORSHIP.
4 My willing- soul would stay-
in such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.
HYMN 48. L. M.
1 Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day thy God has blest ;
Another six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun.
2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love as-
signs
So sweet a rest to wearied minds ;
Provides a blest foretaste of heaven
On this day more than all the seven.
3 0 that our thoughts and thanks may
rise
As grateful incense to the skies ;
And draw from Christ that sweet re-
pose,
Which none but he that feels it knows.
4 This heavenly calm within the breast
Is the blest pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.

HYMN 49. S. M.
1 How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill ;
That bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!
2 How charming is their voice,
So sweet the tidings are ;
" Zion, behold thy Savior, King ;
He reigns and triumphs here !"
3 How happy are our ears,
That hear the joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found.
4 How blessed are our eyes,
That see this heavenly light ;
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
6 The Lord makes bare his arm
Through all the earth abroad ;
Let every nation now behold
Their Savior and their God.
62 WORSHIP.
HYMN 50. L. M.
1 Come, tune, ye saints, your noblest
strains,
Your dying, rising Lord to sing;
And echo, to the heavenly plains,
The triumphs of your Savior King.
2 In songs of grateful rapture tell
How he subdued your potent foes,
Subdued the powers of death and hell,
And, dying, finished all your woes.
3 Then to his glorious throne on high
Returned, while hymning angels
round,
Through the bright arches of the sky,
The Lord, the conquering Lord,
resound.
4 Almighty love ! victorious power !
Not angel tongues can e'er display
The wonders of that dreadful hour —
The joys of that illustrious day.
5 Dear Savior, let thy wondrous grace
Fill every heart, and every tongue ;
Till the full glories of thy face
Inspire a sweeter, nobler song.
WORSHIP. 63
HYMN 51. C. M.
1 Zion, the city of our God,
How glorious is the place !
The Savior there has his abode,
And sinners see his face.
2 Firm against every adverse shock
Its mighty bulwarks prove ;
'T is built upon the living Rock,
And walled around with love.
3 There all the fruits of glory grow,
And joys that never die ;
And streams of grace and knowledge
flow,
The soul to satisfy.
4 Come, set your faces Zionward,
The sacred road inquire ;
And let a union to the Lord
Be henceforth your desire.
5 The gospel shines to give you light,
No longer, then, delay;
The Spirit waits to guide you right,
And Jesus is the way.

Thy promise now fulfil ;

And young- and old by grace prepare
To dwell on Zion's hill.

From dust, from darkness, and the
dead !
Though humbled long — awake at
length,
And gird thee with thy Savior's
strength !
2 Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy excellence be known ;
Decked in the robes of righteousness,
Thy glories shall the world confess.
3 No more shall foes unclean invade,
And fill thy hallowed walls with
dread ;
No more shall hell's insulting host
Their victory and thy sorrows boast.
4 God, from on high, has heard thy
prayer,
His hand thy ruin shall repair ;
Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.
WORSHIP. 65
HYMN 53. L. M.
1 Comfort, ye ministers of grace,
Comfort the people of your Lord ;
O lift ye up the fallen race,
And cheer them by the gospel word.
2 Go into every nation, go,
Speak to their trembling hearts,

Glad tidings unto all we show;
Jerusalem, thy God is nigh.
3 Hark ! in the wilderness a cry,
A voice that loudly calls, Prepare !
Prepare your hearts, for God is nigh,
And means to make his entrance
there !
4 The Lord your God shall quickly
come ;
Sinners, repent! the call obey:
Open your hearts to make him room;
Ye desert souls, prepare his way.
5 The Lord shall clear his way through
all;
Whate'er obstructs, obstructs in
vain ;
3*
66 WORSHIP.
The vale shall rise, the mountain fall*
Crooked be straight, and rugged
plain.
6 The glory of the Lord displayed
Shall all mankind together view*
And what his mouth in truth hath said,
His own almighty hand shall do.
HYMN 54. C. M.
1 All hail the power of Jesus' name,
Let angels prostrate fall ;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
To crown him Lord of all.
2 Let high-born seraphs tune the lyre,
And, as they tune it, fall
Before his face who tunes their choir,
And crown him Lord of all.
3 Crown him, ye morning stars of light,
He fixed this floating ball ;
Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown him Lord of all.
4 Crown him, ye martyrs of your God,
Who from his altar call ;

Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown him Lord of all.
HYMN 55. C. M.
1 Cone, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Let us thine influence prove ;
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love.
2 Come, Holy Ghost, for, moved by thee,
The prophets wrote and spoke ;
Unlock the truth, thyself the key,
Unseal the sacred book.
3 Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
Brood o'er our nature's night;
On our disordered spirits move,
And let there now be light.
4 God, through himself, we then shall
know,
If thou within us shine ;
And sound, with all thy saints below,
The depths of love divine.
HYMN 56. C. M.
1 Father of all, in whom alone
We live, and move, and breathe,
68 WORSHIP.
One bright, celestial ray dart down,
And cheer thy sons beneath.
2 While in thy word we search for thee,
(We search with trembling awe !)
Open our eyes, and let us see
The wonders of thy law.
3 Now let our darkness comprehend
The light that shines so clear ;
Now the revealing Spirit-send,
And give us ears to hear.
HYMN 57. L. M.
1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims
His various and his saving names ;
O may they not be heard alone,
But by our sure experience known.
2 Through every age his gracious ear
Is open to his servants' prayer ;
Nor can one humble soul complain
That he has sought his God in vain.
3 What unbelieving heart shall dare
In whispers to suggest a fear,
While still he owns his ancient name,
The same his power — his love the
same.
WORSHIP. 69
To thee our souls in faith arise ,
To thee we lift expecting eyes ;
We boldly through the desert tread,
For God will guard where he shall

Let the Creator's praise arise ;

Eternal truth attends thy word :
Thy praise shall sound from shore to
shore,
Till suns shall rise to set no more.
MIDNIGHT CRY.
HYMN 59. P. M.
1 Why sleep ye, my brethren? come,
let us arise ;
O, why should we slumber in sight
of the prize ?
Salvation is nearer, our day is far
spent,
O, let us be active ; awake, and
repent I
2 O, how can we slumber ? the Master
will come,
He 's calling on sinners to seek them
a home ;
The Spirit and Bride now in concert
unite,
The weary they welcome, the careless
invite.
MIDNIGHT CRY. 71
3 O, hcrvv can we slumber? the judg-
ment is near,
And sinners are crowding to endless
despair ;
Now prayer may avail, they may gain
the high prize
Before they in torment shall lift up
their eyes.
4 0, how can ye slumber ? ye sinners,
look round,
Before the last trumpet your heart
shall confound ;
O, fly to the Savior ! he calls you
to-day ;
While mercy is waiting, 0, make no
delay !
HYMN 60. P. M.
1 Soldiers of the cross, arise !
Lo ! your Leader, from the skies,
Waves before you glory's prize,
The prize of victory !
Seize your armor, gird it on !
Now the battle will be won !
See ! the strife will soon be done ;
Then struggle manfully.
72 MIDNIGHT CRY.
2 Jesus conquered when he fell,
Met and vanquished earth and hell ;
Now he leads you on, to swell
The triumphs of his cross.
Though all earth and hell appear,
Who will doubt, or who can fear ?
" God, our strength and shield," is
near;
We cannot lose our cause.
3 Onward, then, ye hosts of God !
Jesus points the victor's rod ;
Follow where your Leader trod ;
You soon shall see his face.
Soon, your enemies all slain,
Crowns of glory you shall gain ;
Rise to join that glorious train,
Who shout their Savior's praise.
HYMN 61. L. M.
1 The Lord will come ! the earth shall
quake,
The hills their fixed seats forsake,
And, withering from the vault of night
The stars withdraw their feeble light.
2 The Lord will come ! but not the same
As once in lowly form he came, —
MIDNIGHT CRY. 73
A silent Lamb to slaughter led,
The bruised, the suffering, and the
dead.
3 The Lord will come ! a dreadful form,
With wreath of flame and robe of
storm,
On cherub wings, and wings of wind,
Anointed Judge of human-kind !
4 Can this be he who wont to stray
A pilgrim on the world's highway,
By power oppressed, and mocked by
pride ?
Oh God ! is this the crucified ?
o Go, tyrants ! to the rocks complain !
Go, seek the mountain-cleft in vain !
But Faith, victorious o'er the tomb,
Shall sing for joy — the Lord is come !
HYMN 62. C. M.
When wild confusion wrecks the air,
And tempests rend the skies ;
Whilst blended ruin, clouds and fire,
In harsh disorder rise ;

74 MIDNIGHT CRY.
2 Safe in my Savior's love I '11 stand,
And strike a tuneful song;
My harp all trembling in my hand,
And all inspired my tongue.
3 I '11 shout aloud, " Ye thunders, roll,
And shake the sullen sky !
Your sounding voice, from pole to pole,
In angry murmurs try.
4 " Let the earth totter on her base,
And clouds the heavens deform ;
Blow, all ye winds, from every place,
And rush the final storm.
5 " Come quickly, blessed Lord ! appear,
Bid thy swift chariot fly ;
Let angels tell thy coming near,
And snatch me to the sky.
6 "Around thy wheels in the glad throng
I 'd bear a joyful part ;
All hallelujah on my tongue,
All rapture in my heart."
HYMN 63. C. M.
1 Sweet are the gifts which gracious
Heaven
On true believers pours ;
MIDNIGHT CRY. 75
But the best gift is grace to know
That Jesus Christ is ours.
2 Our Jesus ! what rich drops of bliss
Descend in copious showers,
When ruined sinners, such as we,
By faith can call him ours !
3 Differ we may in age and state,
Learning and mental powers,
But all the saints may join and shout,
Dear Jesus, thou art ours !
4 Let those who know our Jesus not,
Delight in earth's gay flowers ;
"We, glorying in our better lot,
Rejoice that He is ours.
5 When hope, with elevated flight,
Towards heaven in rapture towers,
'T is this supports our venturous wing,
We know that Christ is ours. *
6 Though Providence, with darkening
" sky.
On things terrestrial lowers,
We rise superior to the gloom,
When singing, Christ is ours.
7 Time, which this world, with all its
joys,
With eager haste devours,
76 MIDNIGHT CRY.
May take inferior things away,
But Jesus still is ours.
8 Haste, then, dull time, and terminate
Thy slow-revolving hours;
We wish, we pray, we long, we pant,
In heaven to call him ours !
HYMN 64. C. M.
1 And must I be to judgment brought,
And answer, in that day,
For every vain and idle thought,
And every word I say ?
2 Yes, every secret of my heart
Shall shortly be made known,
And I receive my just desert
For all that I have done.
3 How careful, then, ought I to live !
With what religious fear,
Who such a strict account must give
For my behavior here !
4 Thou awful Judge of quick and dead,
The watchful power bestow ;
So shall I to my ways take heed,
To all I speak or do.
MIDNIGHT CKY. 77
5 If now thou standest at the door,
0, let me feel thee near,
And make my peace with God, before
I at thy bar appear.
HYMN 65. C. M.
1 Sweet rivers of redeeming love
I see before me lie ;
Had I the pinions of a dove,
I 'd to those rivers fly.
I 'd rise superior to my pain,
"With joy outstrip the wind;
I 'd cross bold Jordan's stormy main,
And leave the world behind.
2 A few more days, or months, at most,
My troubles will be o'er ;
I hope to join the heavenly host
On Canaan's happy shore.
My rapturous soul shall drink and
feast
In love's unbounded sea ;
The glorious hope of endless rest
Is ravishing to me.
3 O, come, my Savior, come away,
And bear me through the sky ;
Nor let thy chariot- wheels delay ;
Make haste and bring it nigh.
78 MIDNIGHT CRY.
I long to see thy glorious face,
And in thine image shine ;
To triumph in victorious grace,
And be forever thine.
4 Then will I tune my harp of gold
To my eternal King ;
In ages that can ne'er be told
I '11 make his praises ring.
All hail, eternal Son of God !
Who died on Calvary,
And saved me with thy precious blood
From endless misery.
5 Ten thousand thousand all agree,
To praise the eternal One ;
Prostrate in deep humility
Before the blazing throne.
They rise and tune their harps of gold!,
And sweep th' immortal lyre ;
And ages that can ne'er be told
Shall raise thy praises higher.
HYMN 66. L. M.
1 Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress ;
'Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
MIDNIGHT CRY. 79
2 Bold shall I stand in thy great day ;
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved, through these, I am,
From sin and fear, from guilt and
shame*
3 This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years ;
No age can change its glorious hue*
The robe of Christ is ever new.
4 Lord, I believe, were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
6 0, let the dead now hear thy voice ;
Now bid thy banished ones rejoice ;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
"Jesus, the Lord, our Righteous-
ness."
HYMN 67. lis.
1 While nature was sinking in silence to rest,
And the last beams of daylight were dim in
the west,
I strayed in the twilight unconscious away,
In deep meditation, where'er my path lay.
2 I passed near a garden : there fell on my ear
A voice of deep anguish from one that was
there -,
80 MIDNIGHT CRY.
The tones of his agony melted my heart,
"While earnestly pleading the iost sinner's
part.
3 In offering to heaven his strong, matchless
prayer,
He spake of the torments the sinner must
bear j
His life as a ransom he offered to give,
That sinners redeemed in glory might live.
4 So deep was his sorrow, so fervent his
prayers,
That down o'er his bosom rolled sweat,
blood, and tears !
I wept to behold him, and asked his name ;
He answered, " 'Tis Jesus, from heaven I
came.
5 " I am thy Kedeemer, for thee I must die,
The cup is most painful, but cannot pass by j
Thy sins like a mountain are laid upon me,
And all this deep anguish I suffer for thee ! "
6 I heard with attention the tale of his wo,
While tears like a fountain of waters did
flow;
The cause of his sorrow to hear him repeat,
Affected my heart, and I fell at his feet.
7 I trembled with horror, and loudly did cry,
" Lord, save, or I perish ! 0, save, or I die ! "
He smiled when he saw me, and said to me,
" Live !
Thy sins, which are many, I freely forgive."
MIDNIGHT CRY. 81
8 How sweet was that language ! it made me
rejoice !
His smiles, 0, how pleasant ! how cheering
his voice !
I ran from the garden to spread it abroad,
I shouted, " Salvation ! 0, glory to God ! "
9 I'm now on my journey to mansions above,
My soul full of glory, of peace, light, and
love !
I think of the garden, the prayer, and the
tears,
And that loving stranger who banished my
fears.
10 The day of bright glory is rolling around,
When Gabriel, descending, the trumpet
shall sound ;
My soul then in raptures of glory will rise,
To gaze on that Stranger with unclouded
eyes.
HYMN 68. L. M.
1 The great archangel's trump shall sound,
(While twice ten thousand thunders roar,)
Tear up the graves, and cleave the ground,
And make the greedy sea restore.
2 The greedy sea shall yield her dead,
The earth no more her slain conceal ;
Sinners shall lift their guilty head,
And shrink to see a yawning hell.
3 But we who now our Lord confess,
And faithful to the end endure,
82 MIDNIGHT CRY.
Shall stand in Jesus' righteousness,
Stand as the Rock of Ages sure.
4 We, while the stars from heaven shall
fall,
And mountains are on mountains
hurled,
Shall stand unmoved amidst them all,
And smile to see a burning world.
5 The earth, and all the works therein,
Dissolve, by raging flames destroyed ;
While we survey the awful scene,
And mount above the fiery void.
6 By faith we now transcend the skies,
And on that ruined world look down ;
By love above all height we rise,
And share the everlasting throne.
HYMN 69. S. M.
1 Thou Judge of quick and dead,
Before whose bar severe,
With holy joy or guilty dread,
We all shall soon appear ;
Our cautioned souls prepare
For that tremendous day,
MIDNIGHT CRY. 83
And fill us now with watchful care,
And stir us up to pray.
To pray and wait the hour,
That awful hour unknown,
When, robed in majesty and power,
Thou shah from heaven come down,
Th' immortal Son of man,
To judge the human race,
With all thy Father's dazzling train,
With all thy glorious grace.
To damp our earthly joys,
T' increase our gracious fears,
Forever let the archangel's voice
Be sounding in our ears
The solemn midnight cry,
u Ye dead, the Judge is come !
Arise, and meet him in the sky,
And meet your instant doom !"
O may we thus be found
Obedient to thy word,
Attentive to the trumpet's sound,
And looking for our Lord.
O may we all insure
A lot among the blest,
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest.
84 MIDNIGHT CRY.
HYMN 70. P. M.
1 When shall I see the day
That ends my woes ;
When shall I victory gain
O'er all my foes ;
When will the trumpet sound
That calls the exile home —
The grand, sabbatic year,
When will it come ?
2 A crown of glory bright,
By faith I see,
In yonder realms of light,
Prepared for me.
O, may I faithful prove,
And keep the prize in view;
And through the storms of life
My way pursue.
3 Jesus, be thou my guide,
My steps attend ;
O keep me near thy side,
Be thou my friend ;
Be thou my shield and sun,
My Savior and my guard ;
And, when my work is done,
My great reward.
MIDNIGHT CRY. 85
4 O, how I long to see
That happy day,
When sorrow, sin and pain
Shall flee away ;
When all the heavenly tribes
Shall find their long sought home;
The Jubilee of Heaven,
When will it come ?
HYMN 71. P. M.
1 Christian, the morn breaks sweetly
o'er thee,
And all the midnight shadows flee,
Tinged are the distant skies with glory,
A beacon light hangs out for thee.
Arise, arise, the light breaks o'er thee,
Thy name is graven on the throne ;
Thy home is in that world of glory
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone.
2 Tossed on time's rude, relentless
surges,
Calmly composed and dauntless stand,
For lo ! beyond those scenes emerges
The heights that bound the promised
land.
86 MIDNIGHT CRY.
Christian, behold the land is nearing,
Where the wild sea-storm's rage is
o'er;
Hark, how the heavenly hosts are cheer-
ing,
See in what throngs they range the
shore.
4 Cheer up, cheer up, the day breaks
o'er thee
Bright as the summer's noontide ray,
The star-gemm'd crowns and realms of
. glory
Invite thy happy soul away.
Away, away, leave all for glory,
Thy name is graven on tbe throne,
Thy home is in that world of glory
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone.
HYMN 72. S. M.
1 Behold ! with awful pomp
The Judge prepares to come ;
The archangel sounds the dread-
ful trump,
And wakes the general doom.
MIDNIGHT CRY. 87
2 Nature, in wild amaze,
Her dissolution mourns ;
Blushes of blood the moon deface ;
The sun to darkness turns.
3 The living look with dread ;
The frighted dead arise,
Start from the monumental bed.
And lift their ghastly eyes.
4 Horrors all hearts appal,
They quake ! they shriek ! they cry !
Bid rocks and mountains on them fall,
"But rocks and mountains fly.
5 Ye wilful, wanton fools,
Let dangers make you wise ;
Carnal professors, careless souls,
Unclose your sleeping eyes.
6 'T is time we all awake ;
The dreadful day draws near ;
Sinners, your proud presumption
check,
And stop your wild career.
7 Now is th' accepted time,
To Christ for mercy fly;
OS MIDNIGHT CRY.
O turn, repent, and trust in him,
And you shall never die.
8 Great God, in whom we live,
Prepare us for that day ;
Help us in Jesus to believe,
To watch, and wait, and pray.
HYMN 73. 4 8s & 2 6s.
1 How happy are the little flock,
Who, safe beneath their guardian
Kock,
In all commotions rest ;
When war's and tumult's waves run
high,
Unmoved above the storm they lie,
And lodge in Jesus' breast.
2 Such happiness, 0 Lord, have we,
By mercy gathered into thee,
Before the floods descend ;
And while the bursting cloud comes
down,
We mark the vengeful day begun,
And calmly wait the end.
MIDNIGHT CRY. 89
3 The plague, and dearth, and din of
war,
Our Savior's swift approach declare,
And bid our hearts arise ;
Earth's basis shook, confirms our hope;
Its cities' fall but lifts us up,
To meet thee in the skies.
4 Thy tokens we with joy confess;
The war proclaims thee Priace of
peace ;
The earthquake speaks thy power;
The famine all thy fulness brings ;
The plague presents thy healing wings
And nature's final hour.
5 Whatever ills the world befal,
A pledge of endless good we call,
A sign of Jesus near.
His chariot will not long delay ;
We hear the rumbling wheels, and
pray.
"Triumphant Lord, appear!"
6 Appear with clouds on Sion's hill,
Thy word and mystery to fulfil,
Thy confessors t' approve ;
4*
SO
MIDNIGHT CRY.
Thy members on thy throne to place,
And stamp thy name on every face,
In glorious, heavenly love.
HYMN 74. 8&7.
1 Hear the trumpet's awful sound !
Through the skies, the world around,
Loud its echoes do rebound,—
The Judgment day is come.
See the angel takes his stand
On the sea and on the land,
With solemn oath, at God's command,
Declares that time is done.
2 Now the Savior comes in fire,
Angels, dressed in heaven's attire,
Wait around him with desire
To do his holy will ;
Now the sleeping dead arise,
Ghastly pale, with dread surprise,
All in hell now ope their eyes,
And burn in anger still.
3 Gathered round the throne they stand,
Waiting there on either hand ;
Final is the dread command,
Depart — or blessed be ;
Friends and neighbors, you '11 be there,
In the judgment you must share,
MIDNIGHT CRY. 91
Will you for it now prepare,
And to the Savior flee ?
Come, then, now submit to him,
He will cleanse you from all sin,
To his courts now enter in,
And be forever blessed ;
Then you '11 hail the solemn day
When the earth shall flee away ;
When arrives the Judgment day
You '11 enter into rest.
HYMN 75. 8s.
To Jesus, the crown of my hope,
My soul is in haste to be gone ;
O bear me, ye cherubim, up,
And waft me away to his throne.
My Savior, whom absent I love ;
Whom, not having seen, I adore ;
Whose name is exalted above
All glory, dominion, and power ;
Dissolve from these bands that detain
My soul from her portion in thee,
Ah! strike off this adamant chain,
And make me eternally free.
When that happy era begins,
When arrayed in thy glories I
shine,
92 MIDNIGHT CRY*
Nor grieve any more, by my sins*
The bosom on which I recline ;
3 O then, shall the veil be removed,
And round me thy brightness be
poured ;
I shall meet him, whom absent, I lov'd,
I shall see, whom unseen, I adored.
Arid then, never more shall the fears,
The trials, temptations, and woes,
Which darken this valley of tears,
Intrude on my blissful repose.
HYMN 76. S. M.
1 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven, before the
Judge,
Astonished, shrink away !
2 But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark ! from the gospel's cheering
sound,
What joyful tidings spread !
3 Ye sinners, seek his grace,
Whose wrath ye cannot bear ;
Fly to the shelter of the cross,
And find salvation there.
MIDNIGHT CRY. 93
4 So shall that curse remove,
By which the Savior bled ;
And the last awful day shall pour
His blessings on your head.
HYMN 77. C. M.
1 That awful day will surely come,
The approaching hour makes haste,
"When I must stand before my Judge,
And pass the solemn test.
2 Jesus, thou source of all my joys,
Thou ruler of my heart,
How could I bear to hear thy voice
Pronounce the sound, " Depart!"
3 The thunder of that awful word
Would so torment my ear,
'T would tear my soul asunder, Lord,
With most tormenting fear.
4 What, to be banished from my Lord,
And yet forbid to die !
To linger in eternal pain,
And death forever fly !
5 0 wretched state of deep despair,
To see my God remove,
94 MIDNIGHT CRY.
And fix my doleful station where
I must not taste his love !
HYMN 78. P. M.
1 Dark brood the heavens o'er thee !
Black clouds are gathering fast !
In awful power thy God has come,
Thy days of mirth are past.
2 Dark brood the heavens o'er thee !
Eed flames are bursting round;
Bright lightnings flash, loud thunders
roar,
How shakes the trembling ground !
3 Dark brood the heavens o'er thee !
Behold, the Judge appears ;
Unnumbered millions throng around,
Raised from the dust of years.
4 Dark brood the heavens o'er thee !
Sinner, behold thy doom ;
Destruction opens wide for thee
Thy chosen, final home.
5 Yet stay — the vision lingers ;
Why, sinner, wilt thou die ?
Dark brood the heav'ns, but mercy waits,
This hour to Jesus fly.
THE JUBILEE.
HYMN 79. C. M.
1 What heavenly music do I hear,
Salvation sounding free !
Ye souls in bondage, lend an ear;
This is the Jubilee.
2 How sweetly do the tidings roll
All round from sea to sea,
From land to land, from pole to pole,
This is the Jubilee.
3 Good news, good news to Adam's race ;
Let Christians all agree,
To sing redeeming love and grace ;
This is the Jubilee.
4 The gospel sounds a sweet release
To all in misery,
And bids them welcome home to peace ;
This is the Jubilee.
96 THE JUBILEE.
5 Jesus is on the mercy-seat,
Before him bend the knee ;
Let heaven and earth his praise repeat ;
This is the Jubilee.
6 Sinners, be wise, return, and come
Unto the Savior free ;
The Spirit bids you welcome home ;
This is the Jubilee.
7 Come, ye redeemed, your tribute bring
With songs of harmony ;
While on the road to Canaan sing,
This is the Jubilee.
HYMN 80. L. M.
1 How many years has man been driven
Far off from happiness and heaven !
When wilt thou, gracious Lord, restore
Thy wandering church, to roam no more ?
2 Six thousand years are nearly past
Since Adam from thy sight was cast,
And ever since Jiis fallen race
From age to age are void of grace.
3 When will the happy trump proclaim
The judgment of the martyr'd lamb ?
THE JUBILEE. 97
When shall the captive troops be free,
And keep th' eternal Jubilee ?
4 Hasten it, Lord, in every land,
Send thou thine angels, and command,
" Go, sound deliverance, loudly blow —
Salvation to the saints below."
5 We want to have the Day appear,
The promised great Sabbatic year,
When far from grief, and sin, and hell,
Israel in ceaseless peace shall dwell.
6 Till then we will not let thee rest,
Thou still shalt hear our strong request ;
And this our daily prayer shall be,
Lord, sound the trump of Jubilee.
HYMN 81. 7s.
1 Hark ! the song of Jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or the fulness of the sea,
When it breaks upon the shore.
2 See Jehovah's banners furled !
Sheathed his sword ; he speaks —
't is done !
5
98 THE JUBILEE.
Now the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdom of his Son.
3 He shall reign from pole to pole,
With supreme, unbounded sway;
He shall reign, when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away !
4 Hallelujah ! for the Lord
God omnipotent shall reign !
Hallelujah ! let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
HYMN 82. 4 6s & 2 &,
Blow ye the trumpet, blow
The gladly solemn sound ;
Let all the nations know,
To earth's remotest bound,
The year of Jubilee is come ;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive,
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live.
The year of Jubilee is come ;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
THE JUBILEE. 99
3 Ye who have sold for nought
Your heritage above,
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love.
The year of Jubilee is come ;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
4 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heavenly grace ;
And, saved from earth, appear
Before your Savior's face.
The year of Jubilee is come ;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
HYMN 83. 7s.
1 Wake the song of Jubilee,
Let it echo o'er the sea !
Now is come the promised hour,
Jesus reigns with sovereign power.
2 All ye nations, join and sing,
" Christ of lords and kings is King! "
Let it sound from shore to shore,
Jesus reigns for evermore !
3 Now the desert lands rejoice,
And the islands join their voice ;
Yea, the whole creation sings,
11 Jesus is the Kinq- of kinjrs ! "
LIVING ORACLES.
HYMN 84. 6 lines 8s.
1 Inspirer of the ancient seers,
Who wrote from thee the sacred
page,
The same through all succeeding
years ;
To us, in our degenerate age,
The spirit of thy word impart,
And breathe the life into our heart.
2 While now thine oracles we read,
With earnest prayer and strong de-
sire,
O let thy Spirit from thee proceed.
Our souls V awaken and inspire ;
Our weakness help, our darkness
chase,
And guide us by the light of grace.
LIVING ORACLES. 101
3 Whene'er in error's paths we rove,
The living God through sin forsake,
Our conscience by thy word reprove,
Convince and bring the wand'rers
back ;
Deep wounded by thy Spirit's sword,
And then by Gilead's balm restored.
4 The sacred lessons of thy grace,
Transmitted through thy word, re-
peat,
And train us up in all thy ways,
To make us in thy will complete ;
Fulfil thy love's redeeming plan,
And bring us to a perfect man.
5 Furnished out of thy treasury,
0 may we always ready stand,
To help the souls redeemed by thee,
In what their various states de-
mand ;
To teach, convince, correct, reprove,
And build them up in holiest love.
HYMN 85. C. M.
1 The counsels of redeeming grace
The sacred leaves unfold ;
102 LIVING ORACLES.
And here the Savior's lovely face
Our raptured eyes behold.
2 Here light, descending from above,
Directs our doubtful feet ;
Here promises of heavenly love
Our ardent wishes meet.
3 Our numerous gifts are here redrest,
And all our wants supplied ;
Nought we can ask to make us blest.
Is in this book denied.
4 For these inestimable gains,
That so enrich the mind,
O may we search with eager pains,
Assured that we shall find.
HYMN 86. C. M.
1 Father of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines !
Forever be thy name adored
For these celestial lines.
2 Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find,
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.
LIVING ORACLES. 103
3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows,
And yields a free repast ;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows,
Invite the longing taste.
4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around ;
And life, and everlasting joys,
Attend the blissful sound.
5 0 may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight ;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light !
6 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,
Be thou forever near ;
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Savior near.
HYMN 87. 7s.
1 Holy Bible ! book divine !
Precious treasure, thou art mine !
Mine, to tell me whence I came ;
Mine, to teach me what I am ;
2 Mine, to chide me when I rove ;
Mine, to show a Savior's love ;
104 LIVING ORACLES.
Mine, art thou, to guide my feet;
Mine to judge, condemn, acquit;

If the Holy Spirit bless ;
Mine, to show, by living faith,
Man can triumph over death ;
4 Mine, to tell of joys to come,
And the rebel sinner's doom ;
O thou precious book divine !
Precious treasure, thou art mine.
HYMN 88. C. M.
1 Jesus, my Savior, and my Lord,
To thee I lift mine eyes ;
Teach and instruct me by thy word,
And make me truly wise.
2 Make me to know and understand
Thy whole revealed will ;
Fain would I learn to comprehend
Thy love more clearly still.
3 Help me to read the Bible o'er
With ever-new delight.
Help me to love its Author more;
To seek thee day and night.
LIVING ORACLES. 105

And thou shalt have the praise.
HYMN 89. C. M.
1 Hail, sacred truth ! wnose piercing
rays
Dispel the shades of night;
Diffusing o'er the mental world
The healing beams of light.
2 Jesus, thy word, with friendly aid,
Restores our wandering feet;
Converts the sorrows of the mind
To joys divinely sweet.
3 O send thy light and truth abroad,
In all their radiant blaze,
And bid th' admiring world adore
The glories of thy grace.
HYMN 90. L. M.
1 'T was by an order from the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word ;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warm their hearts with heavenly
fire.
106 LIVING ORACLES.
2 Great God1 mine eyes with pleasure
look
On the dear volume of thy book ;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read his name who died for me.
3 Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost and vanish in the wind ;
Here I can fix my hope secure ;
This is thy word — and must endure.
HYMN 91. C. M.
1 What glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun !
It gives a light to every age ;
It gives — but borrows none.
2 The power that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat :
Its truths upon the nations rise ;
They rise — but never set.
3 Let everlasting thanks be thine
For such a bright display,
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
4 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love,
LIVING .ORACLES. 107
Till glory breaks upon my view
In brighter worlds above.
HYMN 92. P. M.
1 Tell me no more of earthly toys,
Of sinful mirth and carnal joys,
The things I loved before ;
Let me but view my Savior's face,
And feel his animating grace,
And I desire no more.
2 Tell me no more of fame and wealth,
Of careless ease and blooming health,
For they have all their snares ;
Let me but know my sins forgiven,
And see my name enrolled in heaven,
And I am free from cares.
3 Give me a Bible in my hand,
A heart to read and understand
That sure, unerring word —
I 'd urge no company to stay,
But sit alone from day to day,
And converse with the Lord.
RESURRECTION.
HYMN 93. L. M.
1 Our Lord is risen from the dead ;
Our Jesus is gone up on high !
The powers of hell are captive led,
Dragged to the portals of the sky.
There his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay ;
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates ;
Ye everlasting doors, give way.
2 Loose all your bars of massy light,
And wide unfold th' ethereal scene ;
He claims these mansions as his right,
Receive the King of Glory in.
Who is the King of Glory ? Who ?
The Lord, that all our foes o'ercame,
The world, sin, death, and hell o'er-
threw; —
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.
RESURRECTION. 109
3 Lo ! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay ;
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates ;
Ye everlasting doors give way.
Who is the King of Glory ? 'Who ?
The Lord, of glorious power possessed;
The King of saints and angels too,
God over all, forever blest.
HYMN 94. 7s & 6s.
1 Jesus, faithful to his word
Shall with a shout descend ;
All heaven's host their glorious Lord
Shall joyfully attend.
Christ shall come with dreadful noise,
Lightnings swift and thunders loud;
With the great archangel's voice,
And with the trump of God.
2 First the dead in Christ shall rise :
Then we that yet remain
Shall be caught up to the skies,
And see our Lord again.
We shall meet him in the air ;
All wrapt up to heaven shall be ;
Find, and love, and praise him there,
To all eternity.
110 RESURRECTION.
3 Who can tell the happiness
This glorious hope affords ?
Joy unuttered we possess
In these reviving words ;
Happy while on earth we live ;
Higher bliss ordained to know ;
When our King to his shall give
The kingdom here below.
HYMN 95. L. M.
1 Why should we start and fear to die ?
What timorous worms we mortals are !
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.
2 The pains, the groans, and dying strife,
Fright our approaching souls away ;
Still shrink we back again to life,
Fond of our prison and our clay.
3 0, if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul should stretch her wings in
haste,
Fly fearless through death's iron gate.
Nor feel the terrors as she passed.
4 Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
RESURRECTION. HI
"While on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.
HYMN 96. L. M,
1 The morning flowers display their
sweets
And gay their silken leaves unfold,
As careless of the noontide heats,
As fearless of the evening cold.
2 Nipt by the winds' untimely blast,
Parched by the sun's directer ray,
The momentary glories waste,
The short-lived beauties die away.
3 So blooms the human face divine,
When youth its pride of beauty shows;
Fairer than spring the colors shine,
And sweeter than the virgin rose.
4 Or worn by slowly rolling years,
Or broke by sickness in a day,
The fading glory disappears,
The short-lived beauties die away.
5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb,
With lustre brighter far shall shine,
112 RESURRECTION.
Revive with ever-daring bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
6 Let sickness blast, let death devour,
If heaven must recompense our pains ;
Perish the grass and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remains.
HYMN 97. 7s.
1 Angels, roll the rock away !
Death, yield up the mighty prey !
See, the Savior quits the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
2 Shout, ye seraphs ; Gabriel raise
Fame's eternal trump of praise ;
Let the earth's remotest bound
Echo to the blissful sound.
3 Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes ;
See the Conqueror mount the skies ;
Troops of angels on the road,
Hail and sing the incarnate God.
4 Heaven unfolds her portals wide,
Glorious Hero, through them ride,
King of glory, mount thy throne,
Boundless empire is thy own.

5 Praise him, ye celestial choirs,
Raise and sweep your golden lyres ;
Praise him in the noblest songs,
From ten thousand, thousand tongues.
HYMN 98. C. M.
1 Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard,
Nor sense nor reason known,
What joys the Father has prepared
For those that love his Son.
2 But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals a heaven to come ;
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.
3 Pure are the joys above the sky,
And all the region peace ;
No wanton lips nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.
4 Those holy gates forever bar
Pollution, sin and shame ;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb.

HYMN 99. C. M.
1 Ye living men, the tomb survey,
Where you must shortly dwell ,
Hark ! how the awful summons sounds.
In every funeral knell !
2 Once you must die, and once for all,
The solemn purport weigh ;
For know that heaven or hell is hung
On that important day !
3 Those eyes, so long in darkness veiled,
Must wake the Judge to see ;
And every word, and every thought,
Must pass his scrutiny.
4 0 may I in the Judge behold
My Savior and my friend ;
And, far beyond the reach of death,
With all his saints ascend.
HYMN 100. C. M.
1 Life is a span, a fleeting hour,
How soon the vapor flies !
Man is a tender, transient flower,
That e'en in blooming — dies.
RESURRECTION. 1 15
2 The once loved form, now cold and
dead,
Each mournful thought employs;
And nature weeps her comforts fled,
And withered all her joys,
3 Hope looks beyond the bounds of time;
When what we now deplore
Shall rise in full, immortal prime,
And bloom to fade no more.
4 Cease, then, fond nature, cease thy
tears —
Thy Savior dwells on high ;
There everlasting Spring appears—
There joys shall never die.
HYMN 101. C. M.
1 Hear what the voice from heaven
proclaims
For all the pious dead ;
Sweet is the savor of their names,
And soft their sleeping bed.
2 They die in Jesus and are blest;
How kind their slumbers are !
116 RESURRECTION.
From sufferings and from sins released,
And freed from every snare.
3 Far from this world of toil and strife,
They 're present with the Lord !
The labors of their mortal life
End in a large reward.
HYMN 102. C. M.
1 And let our feeble bodies fail,
And let them faint and die ;
We soon shall quit the mournful vale
And soar to worlds on high;
2 Shall join the glorified saints,
And find our long-sought rest,
That only bliss for which we pant,
In the Redeemer's breast.
3 In hope of that immortal crown,
We now the cross sustain ;
And gladly wander up and down,
And smile at toil and pain.
4 We suffer on our threescore years,
Till our Deliv'rer come,
And wipe away his servants' tears,
And take his exiles home.
RESURRECTION. 117
HYMN 103. C. M.
1 Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high ;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love
That shows salvation nigh.
2 On all the wings of time it flies ;
Each moment brings it near ;
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year !
3 Not many years their round shall run,
Not many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.
HYMN 104. C. M.
1 How long shall death the tyrant reign,
And triumph o'er the just;
While the rich blood of martyrs slain
Lies mingled with the dust !
2 When shall the tedious night be gone ?
When will our Lord appear ?
Our fond desires would pray him down
Our love embrace him here.
118 RESURRECTION.
3 Let faith arise and climb the hills,
And from afar descry-
How distant are his chariot wheels,
And tell how fast they fly.
4 We hear the voice, "Ye dead, arise !,;
And, lo, the graves obey ;
And waking saints, with joyful eyes,
Salute th' expected day.
5 0 may our humble spirits stand
Among them, clothed in white !
The meanest place at his right hand
Is infinite delight.
6 How shall our joy and wonder rise,
When our returning King
Shall bear us homeward through the
skies
On love's triumphant wing.
HYMN 105. C. M.
1 The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures ;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
RESURRECTION. 119
2 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
3 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine ;
But God, who owns us here below,
Will be forever mine.
HYMN 106. P. M.
1 The groaning creation doth wait,
Together they travail in pain ;
The Watchmen, who stand in the gate,
Are longing the morning to gain.
O! when will "the Bridegroom" appear,
His long-waiting " Bride" to receive ?
We feel that his coming is near ;
He will not his people deceive.
2 He waits for his Bride to appear
In righteousness fully arrayed ;
While lacking he cannot draw near —
" Make ready," and be not afraid.
120 RESURRECTION.
The scoffers, who mock at his word,
Must also stand " fully revealed,"
E'er they can " receive their reward,"
Or their judgment be finally sealed.
HYMN 107. C. M.
1 The angel comes ; he comes to reap
The harvest of the Lord !
O'er all the earth, with fatal sweep,
Wide waves his flaming sword.
2 And who are they, in sheaves, to bide
The fire of vengeance, bound ?
The tares, whose rank, luxuriant pride
Chokes the fair crop around.
3 And who are they, reserved in store"
God's treasure-house to fill ?
The wheat, a hundred fold that bore
Amid surrounding ill.
4 O King of mercy ! grant us power
Thy fiery wrath to flee !
In thy destroying angel's hour,
0 gather us to thee !
THE TRIUMPH.
HYMN 108. P. M.
1 Now Jesus, our King, reigns triumph-
antly glorious ;
O'er sin, death, and hell, he has made
us victorious ;
With shouting proclaim it — O trust
in his passion,
He saved us most freely — O precious
salvation !
2 Our Jesus his name now proclaims
all victorious,
He reigns over all, and his kingdom
is glorious ;
To Jesus we '11 join with the great
congregation,
And triumph, ascribing to him our
salvation.

122 THE TRIUMPH.
3 With joy shall we stand, when es-
caped to the shore ;
With harps in our hands, we '11 praise
him evermore ;
We 11 range the sweet plains on the
bank of the river,
And sing of salvation forever and ever.
HYMN 109. C. M.
1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne ;
Ten thousand thousand are their
tongues,
But all their joys are one.
2 " Worthy the Lamb that died," they
cry,
"To be exalted thus!"
" Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
" For he was slain for us."
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine ;
And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, forever thine.
4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
TEE TRIUMPH. 123
Conspire to lift thy glories high,
And speak thine endless praise.
5 The whole creation join in one
To bless the sacred name
Of him who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
HYMN 110. C. M.
Now to the Lamb that once was slain
Be endless blessings paid ;
Salvation, glory, joy, remain
Forever on thy head.
Thou hast redeemed us by thy blood,
And set the prisoners free ;
Hast made us kings and priests to
God,
And we shall reign with thee.
HYMN 111. C. M.
11 These glorious minds ! how bright
they shine !
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the happy seats
Of everlasting day ? "
124 THE TRIUMPH.
2 From torturing pains to endless joys
On fiery wheels they rode,
And strangely washed their raiment
white
In Jesus' dying blood.
3 Now they approach th' eternal God,
And bow before his throne ;
Their warbling harps and sacred songs
Adore the Holy One.
4 The unveiled glories of his face
Among his saints reside,
While the rich treasure of his grace
Sees all their wants supplied.
5 Tormenting thirst shall leave their
souls,
And hunger flee as fast ;
The fruit of life's immortal tree
Shall be their sweet repast.
6 The Lamb shall lead his heavenly
flock
Where living fountains rise ;
And love divine shall wipe away
The sorrows of their eyes.
THE TRIUMPH. 125
HYMN 112. P. M.
1 He dies, the friend of sinners dies !
Lo ! Salem's daughters weep around ;
A solemn darkness veils the skies,
A sudden trembling shakes the ground.
2 Here 's love and grief beyond degree,
The Lord of glory dies for men !
But lo ! what sudden joys we see !
Jesus, the dead, revives again !
3 The rising Lord forsakes the tomb !
(The tomb in vain forbids his rise !)
Cherubic legions guard him home,
And shout him welcome to the skies !
4 Break offyour tears, you saints, and tell
How high our great Deliverer reigns,
Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell,
And led the monster Death in chains !
5 Say, live forever, wondrous King!
Born to redeem, and strong to save !
Then ask the monster, Where 's thy sting?
And where 's thy vict'ry, boasting
grave ?
126 THE TRItJMpa.
HYMN 113. 8 lines 7s.
1 Hark ! a voice divides the sky ;
Happy are the faithful dead !
In the Lord who sweetly die,
They from all their toils are freed
Them the Spirit hath declared
Blest, unutterably blest ;
Jesus is their great reward,
Jesus is their endless rest*
2 Followed by their works, they go
Where their Head is gone before ;
Reconciled by grace below,
Grace hath opened mercy's door.
Justified through faith alone,
Here they knew their sins forgiven ;
Here they laid their burden down,
Hallowed and made meet for heaven.
MISCELLANEOUS.
HYMN 114. S. M.
Sinners, the call obey,
The latest call of grace ;
The day is come, the vengeful day
Of a devoted race.
Devils and men combine
To plague the faithless seed*
And vials full of wrath divine
Are bursting on your head.
Enter into the Rock,
Ye trembling slaves of sin,
The Rock of your salvation, struck,
And cleft to take you in.
To shelter the distressed
He did the cross endure ;
Enter into the clefts, and rest
In Jesus' wounds secure.
128 MISCELLANEOUS.
5 Jesus, to thee we fly
From the devouring sword;
Our city of defence is nigh,
Our help is in the Lord.
6 Or if the scourge o'erflow,
And laugh at innocence,
Thine everlasting arms, we know,
Shall be our souls' defence.
HYMN 115. C. M.
1 Light of the world, shine on our souls,
Thy grace to us afford ;
And while we meet to learn thy truth,
Be thou our teacher, Lord.
2 As once thou didst thy word expound
To those that walked with thee,
So teach us, Lord, to understand,
And its blest fulness see ;
3 Its richness, sweetness, power and
depth,
Its holiness discern ;
Its joyful news of saving grace
By blest experience learn.
MISCELLANEOUS. 129
4 Help us each other to assist;
Thy Spirit now impart;
Keep humble, but with love inflame,
To thee, and thine, each heart.
5 Thus may thy word be dearer still,
And studied more each day ;
And as it richly dwells within,
Thyself in it display.
HYMN 116. C. M.
Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear op-
pressed,
And make this last resolve.
" I '11 go to Jesus, though my sin
Hath like a mountain rose ;
I know his courts, I '11 enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
" Prostrate I '11 lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess ;
I '11 tell him I 'm a wretch undone,
Without his sovereign grace.
130 MISCELLANEOUS.
4 " But should the Lord reject my plea,
And disregard my prayer,
Yet, still, like Esther, I will stay,
And perish only there.
5 " I can but perish if I go —
I am resolved to try ;
For if I stay away, I know
I must forever die."
HYMN 117. P. M.
1 The Lord of hosts is on my side,
In him — him only, I confide,
Nor shall confide in vain ;
Amidst ten thousand foes and snares,
Amidst ten thousand anxious cares,
He can my soul sustain.
2 I will not yield to servile fear,
Though all the fiends of hell draw
near,
To fight, and rage, and rave ;
My gracious God is also nigh,
And will their hostile rage defy;
He is at hand to save.
3 Let us our hope in God express,
Our hope is in his mighty grace,
MISCELLANEOUS. 131
And still in him confide ;
With dauntless courage let us rise,
Press on, and win the gracious prize,
For God is on our side.
HYMN 118. P. M.
1 How pleasant 't is to see
Kindred and friends agree —
Each in his proper station move,
And each fulfil his part,
With sympathizing heart,
In all the cares of life and love.
2 'T is like the ointment shed
On Aaron's sacred head —
Divinely rich, divinely sweet;
The oil through all the room
Diffused a rich perfume,
Ran through his robes, and blest his feet.
3 Like fruitful showers of rain
That water all the plain,
Descending from the neighboring hills;
Such streams of pleasure roll
Through every friendly soul,
Where love, like heavenly dew, distils.
132 MISCELLANEOUS.
HYMN 119. L. M.
1 Shall I, for fear of feeble man,
The Spirit's course in me restrain ?
Or, undismayed, in deed and word,
Be a true witness of my Lord ?
2 Awed by a mortal's frown, shall I
Conceal the word of God most high !
How then before thee shall I dare
To stand, or how thine anger bear ?
3 Shall I, to soothe th' unholy throng,
Soften thy truth, or smooth my tongue,
To gain earth's gilded toys, or flee
The cross endured, my Lord, by thee ?
4 What then is he whose scorn I dread,
Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid ?
A man ! an heir of death ! a slave
To sin ! a bubble on the wave !
5 Yea, let men rage ; since thou wilt
spread
Thy shadowing wings around my
head;
Since in all pain thy tender love
Will still my sure refreshment prove.
MISCELLANEOUS.
HYMN 120. P. M.
133
1 Vain, delusive world, adieu,
With all your creature good ;
Only Jesus we pursue,
Who bought us with his blood !
All thy pleasures we forego,
We trample on thy wealth and pride ;
Only Jesus will we know,
And Jesus crucified!
2 Here will we set up our rest;
Each fluctuating heart
From the haven of his breast
Shall never more depart.
Whither should a sinner go ?
His wounds for me stand open wide ;
Only Jesus will we know,
And Jesus crucified !
3 O that we could all invite,
This saving truth to prove ;
Show the length, the breadth, the
height,
And depth of Jesus' love !
Fain we would to sinners show,
The blood by faith alone applied ;
Only Jesus will we know
And Jesus crucified !
134 MISCELLANEOUS.
HYMN 121. 10 & 11.
1 The fields are all white, the harvest
is near ;
The reapers all with their sharp sick-
les appear,
To reap down the fields and gather in
barns ;
While the wild plants of nature are
left for to burn.
2 Come then, O my soul, and think on
that day,
When all things in nature shall cease
and decay,
The trumpet shall sound, the angels
appear,
To reap down the earth, both the
wheat and the tares.
3 But hear the sad cry, ascending the
sky,
Of those in distress who have no-
where to fly ;
They call for the rocks and moun-
tains to fall
Upon their poor souls, to hide them
from thrall.
MISCELLANEOUS. 135
4 'T will all be in vain ; the mountains
must flee,
The rocks fly like hailstones, and
must no more be ;
The earth it shall shake, the sea shall
retire,
And this solid world shall then be all
on fire.
5 Then, 0 wretched mortars, look up
and 'spy
The glorious Redeemer descending
the sky,
On chariots of fire ; to earth he is
bound,
With guards of bright angels attend-
ing him down.
6 But hear the kind Judge, that great
day alarms,
First gather my children all into my
arms,
That seven last plagues be poured out
on those
Who 've blasphemed my name and
my saints have opposed.
136 MISCELLANEOUS.
HYMN 122. 10s & lis.
1 O, tell me, thou life and delight of
my soul,
Where the flock of thy pasture are
feeding ;
I seek thy protection, I need thy control ;
I would go where my Shepherd is
leading ;
0, tell me the place where thy flock
are at rest,
Where the noontide will find them
reposing ;
The tempest now rages, my soul is
distressed,
And the darkness around me is
closing.
2 0, why must I dwell with the hosts
of thy foes,
'Mid the desert where now they are
roving,
Where hunger and thirst, where afflic-
tions and woes,
And lies now their ruin are proving?
O, when shall my exile and wander-
ings cease,
And the troubles that fill me with
weeping ?
MISCELLANEOUS. 137
Thou Shepherd of Israel ! give me
that peace
Thou hast promised the flock of thy
keeping.
HYMN 123. P. M.
Watchmen ! onward to your stations !
Blow the trumpet long and loud !
Preach the gospel to the nations,
Speak to every gathering crowd !
See ! the day is breaking !
See the saints awaking,
No more in sadness bowed !
Watchmen ! hail the rising glory
Of the great Messiah's reign !
Tell the coming Savior's story,
Tell it to the listening train :
See his wrath revealing;
See the Spirit sealing;
'T is life amid the slain !
Watchmen ! as the clouds are flying,
As the doves in haste return,
Thousands, from amid the dying,
Flee to Christ, his love to learn;
All their sighs and sadness
Turn to joy and gladness,
When_they this truth discern.

Awake from thy slumbers, the warning believe

While dangers are pending, escape for thy life,

There the glory is ever shining !
O, my longing heart, my longing heart is there
Here in this country so dark and dreary,
I long have wandered forlorn and weary.
I 'm a pilgrim, and I 'm a stranger, &c.
There 's the city to which I journey ;
My Redeemer, my Redeemer is its light !
There is no sorrow, nor any sighing,
Nor any tears there, nor any dying !
I 'm a pilgrim, and I 'm a stranger, &c.
Farewell, neighbors, with tears I 've warned you,
I must leave you, I must leave you and be gone !
With this your portion, your hearts' desire —
Why will you perish in raging fire?
I 'm a pilgrim, and I 'm a stranger, &c.
Father, mother and sister, brother !
If you will not journey with me I must go !
Now since your vain hopes you will thus cherish,
Should I too linger and with you perish ?
I 'm a pilgrim, and I 'm a stranger, &c.
Farewell, dreary earth, by sin so blighted,
In immortal beauty soon you '11 be arrayed !
He who has formed thee, will soon restore thee !
And then thy dread curse shall never more be : —
I 'm a pilgrim, and I 'm a stranger
Till thy rest shall end the weary pilgrim's night.

Though nature's strength decay, He keeps his own secure,
And earth and hell withstand, He guards them by his side,
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way, Arrays in garments white and pure,
At his command : His spotless bride ;
The watery deep I pass, With streams of sacred bliss,
With Jesus in my view ; With groves of living joys,
And thro' the howling wilderness, With all the fruits of paradise,
My way pursue. He still supplies.
The goo'dly land I see,
With peace and plenty bless'd !
A land of sacred liberty,
And endless rest ;
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound ;
And trees of life forever grow,
With mercy crowned.
Before the Holy One,
They all exulting stand,
And tell the wonders he hath done,
Through all their land.
The listening spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame,
And sing in sonss which never end
The wondrous Name.

To see the sons of God well known,
All spotless to their Father shown,
And Jesus all his brethren own,
When the King of kings comes.

When he with jireat power comes:
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kinns comes:
To see all things by him restored,
And God himself alone adored
By all the saints, with one accord,

Let them revile me and scoff at my name,
Laugh at my weeping — endeavor to shame ;
I will go forward, for this is my theme ; There, there is rest — there

Here are afflictions and trials severe ; Here is no rest — is no rest ;
Here I must part with the friends I hold dear j Yet I am blest — I am

Sweet is the promise I read in his word ;
Blessed are they who have died in the Lord ;
They will be call'd to receive their reward j — Then there is rest

This world of cares is a wilderness state, Here is no rest — is no rest ;
Here I must bear from the world all its hate,— Yet I am blest — I am

Soon shall I be from the wicked released,
Soon shall the weary forever be blest,
Soon shall I lean upon Jesus' breast— Then thsre is rest — there is
rest.

vii. 20.
1
When the harvest is past, and the summer is gone;
And warnings and prayers shall be o'er;
When the beams cease to break of the sweet Sabbath morn
And Jesus invites thee no more;
When the rich gales of mercy no longer shall blow,
The gospel no message declare;
Sinner, how can'st thou bear the deep wailings of woe;
How suffer the night of despair.
When the holy have gone to the regions of peace,
Those heavenly mansions to prove ;
When their harmony wakes in the fulness of bliss,
Their song to the Saviour they love;
Say, O Sinner, that livest at rest and secure,
Who fearest no trouble to come,
Can thy spirit the swellings of sorrow endure
Or bear the impenitent's doom!

Its clustering grapes are round and

And vengeance, vengeance bursts to

Sudden and irresistible!
Messiah comes to tread amain
The wine-press of the battle-plain;

The struggle of the mighty ones:
And Armageddon's day comes on,
The carnival of Slaughter's sons;
War lifts his helmet to his brow:

Rise, shine! thy li«ht is come at length,
And thou the wicked shall condemn.
But hark! the war-whoop nearer

And captains'flesh shall be yourfood,
And ye shall drink of heroes' blood.

Soon shall Abaddon's legions yield;

The morning dawns — and where are

The flames, the flames, great Auto-

When judgments, O Lord, are abroad in the land,
And merited vengeance descends from thy hand!
O'erwhelmed with the sight, for protection I'll fly,
And hide in the Rock, that is higher than I !

When summoned away before God to appear,
By free-grace supported I'll yield without fear!
Most gladly I'll venture with Jesus on high,
To enter the Rock that is higher than I!

'Tis there, with the chosen of Jesus, I long
To dwell, and eternally join in the song,
Of praising and blessing with angels on high,
Christ Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I !

The faithful sure promise the fathers believed,
Shall then be fulfilled and the glory received;
The hand that was pierced for me wipe my tears dry.
For to reign with the One that is higher than L
"I will Return."

2 As a woman counts the days
Till her absent lord she sees,
Longs and watches, weeps and prays,
So the church must long for thee.
Come, th;it we may see thee nigh;
Then the sheep shall feed in peace;
Hushed forever trouble's sigh,
Sin and sorrow's triumph cease.

2 Haste, O hasten thine appearing,
Take thy mourning people home:
'Tis this hope our spirits cheering,
While we in the desert roam,
Makes thy people
Strangers here, till thou dost come,
3 Lord, how long shall the creation
Groan and travail sore in pain;
Waiting for its sure salvation,
When thou shalt in glory reign,
And like Eden,
This sad earth shall bloom again.
4 Reign, O reign Almighty Saviour!
Heaven and earth in one unite;
Make it known, that in thy favor,
There alone is life and light;
When we'see thee,
We shall have unmixed delight.
